Thumbs up Electrical brain needed for lighting question!

For those of you who have been in an Audi or other similar vehicle that has lights that dim on and off when you open and close the car doors, is there a way to put some kind of relay or something that would allow this to happen with the interior lights in the s2k?

Easy build. Parts will change based on the current draw. http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/hardware-d...mmer-delay.html

^Way too complicated.

I used to make a mod for the S2000 that dimmed the lights out after a pre-set time delay. I think the board had maybe 6 parts on it? It mounted inside the overhead light housing. I have not made it for at least 3 years but I might have to resurrect it sometime in the near future. It also had two little LED night lights that were wired to the push button switches and provided just enough light to see your stuff on the seat but not so much it bothered you driving at night. I actually pulled it out of my old car and put it in my new 2008, still works.
