Possible to connect new stereo with a clock?

3rd question: the new stereo also has a Dimmer for the backlight LCD readout, I know which wire, also it has a ground wire for it. I think the original lead for my old stereo is 2 wire. The one I am using for the switched battery. But the other lead , I think, went to the old radio Light which was dimmable, right? If that is the case can I now connect that lead to my new stereo Dim wire, ground it and have a dimmable backlight controlled by the headlight switch knob for my new stereo?

If you want it to dim with the dash lights, tap into the orange wires that go to the stock radio back lighting. You can also tap into it directly off the fuse block, just look for the orange wires. You can use the one that went to the factory radio if you are running an aftermarket one...

Then it will brighten and dim with the dash lights...
