My under dash lights have been adapted to add a cable length to be able to use them to light up the underneath when working on the gubbins (technical term) down there. Can you useful at times 
i use a £1 torch... aldi(but i am considering boot lighting and under bonnet lighting and still plan to do something in the mirrors for puddle lights.....)

Boot illumination
Illumination for cabin mounted round targa hoop
did you wire in a manual switch or one off the boot release etc?Illumination for cabin mounted round targa hoop
i plan to look at that this weekend.
my lad just made me up a dimmer circuit so the interior lights dim over 5 secs...its all getting a bit "posh"

Pop the boot light out and remove the spades that are connected to the fitting. Make two small holes, one on either side where the lamp housing is fitted to pass the wires on your LED strip through and then wire them together into the cars loom (use bullets) so the operate as it did only with more light. Stick the old lamp fitting back in the hole and job donei plan to look at that this weekend.

thanks..... just found a boot light i didnt know i had!never seen a boot light, went for a look and voila, lamp holder without a bulb.....will get on with more led stuff later

The boot light usually gets disconnected as it can be the culprit for a flat battery. Unlike the T350 & Sag, you can't see if the light actually goes out when the boot is closed, as its crap at doing its job it ends up disconnected or with the bulb removed!never seen a boot light, went for a look and voila, lamp holder without a bulb.....will get on with more led stuff later

Don't suppose he's looking at going into business with it? Or at least releasing the schematic? I can wield a soldering iron, just not with intelligence....
haha ill ask if he facies making more....jrb43 said:

Just needs a capacitor adding on the circuit, i've done the same thing with my dash lights 
http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/681...
he sent me this.....!
and said it had a
"PMW with fade out timer" but had some programmable chip so he could programme :-
fade out timing options
auto switch off if you leave the doors open after a set time
some funky dad rave mode if i opened and closed the doors too many times in succession...
he's just tested the consumption in use and checked operations with halogen bulbs etc to make sure its robust enough

fitted the dimmer widget at the weekend. works a treat
interior lights now fade up on door opening, dim down 10 secs after closing the door, , and auto off after 2 mins if you leave the doors open accidentally
as these operate the roof and footwell lights, planning to amend the software so that opening and closing the door thrice in quick succession will leave the lights on till the door is next closed (aka engineer mode for seeing what you're messing with in the footwell)
the switched roof light of course operates independently unless switched to doors mode.
got around to making this too...
not made anything from carbon before...fiddly stuff to get the weave to lay properly, but worked a treat

I want. That's perfect, add my name to the waiting list!
Ditto. I'd be more than happy with one of those as well.How many channels does it have on it? If he could create something for me which has about 5-8 channels (as I add more lights)
I'd be more than happy to pay him for his time
