On my Dakota Digital VHX gauges it has the default one dimming but can be adjusted from the programming side, I did not realize that the factory lighting rheostat within the stock headlight switch will not work, AAW offers a stand alone switch for adjusting, that looks like the stock headlight switch (additional hole) the option that I am going with. I think I want the additional flexibility of adjusting the intensity at will without going into programming mode.
Have you decided on which wiper system you are going with?
The latest version of DSE is a fairly small footprint on the switch side.
On the backside of my factory bezel I had to get a little creative due to the thin plate on the front side. (your are using an aftermarket setup so that will not be an issue).

The racepak iq3s has auto dim when it sees headlight signal. Has a wire I tie into the headlight switch. Set it in programming for both levels and it's done.

Will be using DSE motor/setup with rain gear to keep firewall clean.
