Courtesy light / puddle light / door handle lights 10 second delay!
hey guys yep another one! loll
dont hate me pleaseee you guys are the only people i can turn toooo
just another mod idea..
i love the lil lights you get with the bmws and more expensive cars :cry:
where you hit the central locking button and lil lights light up under the side mirror and your door handles light up.
i was just wondering has anyone tried or done this mod?
i done a bit of reading on other car forums from a quick google search.
other cars luckily have their interior light, light up when they unlock their doors.. mine doesnt dont know about you guys..
sooo need to figure a way of getting that to happen plus have a 10 second delay on it so i can wire up the light on the door handles and under the mirror.
ideas:
get a time delay circuit thingy majigyy! wire that to the interior dome light then wire the other lights up
HOWEVER big problem... that dont mean it will light up when i unlock the car..
sooo im guessing ima have to hack in to the central locking wires some how?? any ideas which wires..
i was thinking to do it with the solenoid on the door itself.. HOWEVER i need the lights to switch off when i lock the car... or should i not be so fussy and just let it stay on for those 10 seconds...
see the other thing is as well im planning to get an alarm within the next few months nearer to the end time of the cars completion... so should i just wait till then and get an alarm with a delay feature on it and wire it up to that?
thought id post this anyway incase anyone else was wondering to do it..
any ideas??
Re: Courtesy light / puddle light / door handle lights 10 second delay!
You could wire the lights with a timed delay relay off the power lock circuit from the remote box.
But you'd be making quite a bit of harness for that.
You could put an led strip under the door so when it is open (off the jamb switch) it will light the ground.
For the key locks they used to sell cover replacements with indiglo strip around the key hole. But if you have power locks why waste you time for a mod when your not using a key?

Finnaly somebody who kinda thinks like me, anyways this I plan on doing to my car when I'm done with my alarm or starter, if it's a starter, underbody LEDs will stay on as long as the car is remote started, they will stAy on when I unlock the car for 30 secs, and will flash when alarm is triggered,
If it's just alarm the LEDs will stay on after unlocking the car for 30 secs, flash when locking or whe. Alarm is triggered.
My advice is that you wait till you install you Alarm, the options are endless of you know how to use your relays and diodes. I'll be posting a how to when I'm done with mine.

Just watched your video... so the LED strips that you have on your tail lights - they're wired into the parking lights I take it? or are they always on? And what about the ones on your headlights?

yep the ones at the back are always on when i switch my lights on. so lights off strips off :D
same with the front bulbs. they are wired to the side light at the front.. i have the 3 strips thingy as a side light which is just 1 501 bulb. i just tapped in to the wiring.. so i have the stripes and the led strips at the same time..

You could have it alternate with the turn signal (i.e. turn signal on - LED strip off, only when the turn signal is activated)... I personally like it that way (saw it on one of the Audi's in passing, thought it was pretty cool so looked around to see if I can wire mine like that)...
You could wire both front and back strips that way... all you have to do is cut the ground wire off the strip and tap it into the power wire for the turn signal. So when the turn signal comes on, the strip is off 'cause it's getting power to both wires... just an idea.
Re: Courtesy light / puddle light / door handle lights 10 second delay!
yee thats cool, theres a guy with a audi tt thats done it like yours as well in ur vid.
looks really cool... i was wondering how you done it as well.. thanks for that.. i would never of thought of that :| damn..
what i might actuallllly do is convert my entire lower part of my cluster... so its a row of white leds like the audi annnd a row of orange ones as an indicator.. all in that 1 part so it looks like its part of the cluster... mmmm...
another idea i had was inside the acutal cluster open it up and feed a row of those led strips in... and shape it up... but then i realisd as i have the eyebrows over my bonnet might be a bit tricky getting the angl n height correct ect ect... so was put off.
