is there a way to link this to the gauge cluster and stereo so that on a rainy day i can still see teh clock with the headlights on? i can un-dim the stereo but not the clock.

thats what he is talking about. you cut the RED wire that goes into the clock. this prevents the clock from dimming with the headlights on

Yea but doesn't that make the clock stay bright all the time? Even at night when you don't want it to be bright?

i don't think so. most likely you have to wire it to the dimmer circuit to be able to control it. this is the way it should have been done from the factory.
