I have read that you can puthem all together but have not done it yet so I am definitely interested in this thread.

I just moved the wires on the rheostat so that they were connected together on
one side. Not sure what all the extra connections back there are for, but I've
never had any problem, and it keeps the lights on full dim at all times. You
must have a ground short somewhere.
