It looks like the ABL might be tapped into the instrument panel lighting circuit. Which means if you do hook this up you can't totally shut the ABL off.

I'll let 2SSRS answer that though, but since I saw the yellow wires....

You cant go off the instrument panel if you want plug and play, You are right That you cant shut the ABL off only, But if you use the dimer in the car it will go up or down.

Yes all you do is turn the dial on the new HUD switch in the dash, and it clicks off.
