Lights On Warning Buzzer

[Arapo]

Guys - need some help..

I want to fit a warning buzzer to the Tuscan that will sound when the lights are left on.

So far, searching through the forums I found 2 solutions:
1) Fit a buzzer to the interior light and the side lights, which buzzes when the doors are open.
2) Connect a relay with a buzzer to the radio, so when the key is out and the lights are on, it buzzes.

Being a novice with electronics, the first solution is much simpler, but requires to run wires around the car, which sounds tricky. The second solution, although a bit more complicated, sounds much better.

Has anyone done any of the above? Do they work??
Thanks!

I have done the first one and it is very effective and cost me about £3.

Indeed - I was reading your posting from some years ago. But, I am unsure on how to hide all these long cables. Any ideas? With solution No 2, all is behind the centre console..

Not sure about the Tuscan but with the Cerbera I wired it up to the rear interior lights and as there is plenty of room behind them I put the buzzer there, the side light power came from the rear side lights. Nothing is visible.
