1999 Ford Ranger Radio

bought without a radio. Bought an after market radio and ford compatible wiring harness. All radio wires matched up nicely except 3 of them

1 Black amp ground (no amp in loop so prob dont need, but will ground anyway for completeness) (does have a reg ground in the harness used) 2 orange wires marked "illumination" and "dimmer" (no place for these on radio, will install tonight, Im wondering if radio wont be lit at night .if so where can i attatch these wires?

That depends on the brand of radio you are putting in. There are a few aftermarket radios that have a dimmer circuit on them but most do not. Even those that have a dimmer circuit built in, the display will still light up depending on how the wiring is done. Hope this helps.
