Metra Wiring Harness - Illumination wire
Just got my new headunit, started wiring it up and noticed some issues. The package says thr illumination is orange and the dimmer is orange and white. The actual harness doesn't have an orange wire, only orange and white or orange and black. I assumed orange and black is the illumination, but on the wire it says dimmer ground.

What did you guys do?

Really, no one can help? Everyone suggests this harness, but no one has used it before?

And everything worked fine? Lights on the buttons turn on and everything?

Thanks for the input, guys!

Yep, there are 2 wiring harnesses, I used the orange on the main wire harness, and taped off the other 1 which was on the secondary plug for the rear speakers. Crutchfield sent a diagram, and it said to tape off that wire and not use it
