Wiring led light strips

I was wanting to put some led light strips under my dash is there a way to dim them using the same dimmer that you use to dim you instrument cluster?

only if you can wire them into the dashlight circuit. You will need to find a wire some place under the dash for these lights. depending on your truck, the easiest place is the radio power plug. Later model 2011 and up, might not be that easy to access this plug and might not work.

I have a 2006 f250 and I had a friend that did his where they would dim down with his instrument panel. And where would that wire be locted?
