People use this stuff (called EL cable) to mod their computer cases.
Looks like you can use a dimmer. Its actually pretty fun stuff.

Subject: NPC/LMC - Neon Ropelights.. where to get?

Before you all kill me, no, I'm not turning the Sub into a ricemobile..
I'm having a TERRIBLE time trying to get my cluster lit the way I want
and I'm grasping at straws. I just redid the faces rotated 180 degrees
(I can't see the tops with that small steering wheel) and I want to get
rid of the "I can see the crap behind your paper faces" look. Front
lighting seems like a great solution, but doing it is hard.. since the
faces are recessed about 1/2", I get a shadow working off the top of th
ecluster ont he tops of the faces.. not acceptable. I acquired a early
model Saturn cluster, and the way they do it would be good except for
that, and how to get a slit int he top, etc etc comes into play. I
think the roplight can be put behind the black cluster lid, around the
individual faces to perimeter light them from out of sight.

I have seen the ropelight that is small, like spagetti size, not the
bigger stuff, that is lit 100% and 360 degrees.. I think this is it?

But I am not sure. Basically I need a setup of it, probably 5-10' long,
red, and dimmable.. (must be dimmable!) if anyone can help me out, give
me a shout.. alternately, if there are good ideas how to front light the
cluster and look classy, let me know.. I'm coming up dry. I've got a
few ideas but (like the ropelight) they are kinda hairbrained and out
there... trying to find a relatively easy and good looking setup...
emphasis on NOT RICE. I really need a bigger alternator. :)
