im guess u have an eg civic? if i have some time 2morrow ill pull it out and check for u. i think its part of the dimmer 2, just cut a bit of the insulation off and use a volt meter to see if it changes with the dimmer.

problem solved.

this was the colour coding for MY car not too sure about in general.

White = Constant
Yellow = Ignition +
Black = Ground -
Red = Dimmer
