My usual recommendation when dealing with the dash-light dimmer switch is to connect both the wires to the same terminal side. (Most of the switches we've got have two tabs on each side.) You'll get full brightness (usually not a problem) all the time. For the last 10 years we've had to scrape up NOS switches, and their quality leaves a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, the original Lucas switches haven't been made in well over a decade, and when we can find them at all, their price is ridiculous. To add insult to injury, I test them all and reject about 1/4 of them out of the box.
