Illumination wiring?

[alexp11]

Hey guys, been reading up on diagrams as I'm planning to install a radio system in my 93 standard cab. Upon my investigating, I found that my truck is supposed to have 2 illumination wires, but the head unit I'll be installing only has one, should I just wire one of them to the head unit, or wire both of them into the one wire on the unit? Thanks

While I'm here, does anyone know of any 1-2 cubic ft 10" sub boxes that fit in a standard cab? Between the seats is an option as I just put in buckets and don't have a center console if someone has specs they used I can try to make one out of MDF.

Oh, one more thing... When I used the removal tools to try to take out the stock unit, it seemed the whole bezel wanted to come out with it, do I need to remove the bezel to remove the unit? How many bolts/clips are involved in doing this?
Thanks - Alex

Do NOT use both wires. I believe the correct wire will be the Blue/Red. The wire you want goes to 12 volts when the lights are turned on, and turning the light switch knob has no affect on the voltage.

Alright. I assume the other wire controlled dimming?
