    I've seen some of the pictures but out of your recommendation do you think white is to bright? I don't know how bright these rockers are and don't feel like having an annoying light hitting me... Was thinking red might be better? Not as bright..

    If you wire your switches in with your truck's dimming circuit, you can dim them with your dash lights. @Captain Taco

    There are two ways, like @deeezy posted with the variable ground tied into the factory dimmer, or get a color that's easy on the eyes like a red or amber.

    They aren't bright though. Even when the green is lit it's not bright by any means.

    So have the switch go to the light and also connect to the factory dimmer! Perfect! I'm going with white then! :) thanks guys!
    Last stupid question I got, I'm getting the rocker and the switch, they obviously won't come wired, what all do I need to get to properly wire it? Is the 8 terminal rear connecting housing needed?

    AC control's illumination wires. Search for that 4x4 switch illumination thread. The install instructions in that shows which two wires they are.

    Yes! You just need to tie into the ground, that's what controls the dimming.
