    yup... the orange wires are for dimming with the headlights on and brightness control from your dash knob.

    just pick up a wiring harness for an isuzu and match color-to-color.
    its an extremely simple and easy dash to take apart. just look for screws and you'll be fine.. something like 7 of em..

    search the forums for radio installaton. lots of pages out there

    My JVC headunit has the dimming feature.

    x2 on what pbkid said about using the Isuzu wiring harness. Super easy to hook it up. Just match the colored wires together and you are good to go.
