Thought I'd try putting in an Op-Amp dimmer circuit as well so that the dome lights dim to the "off" position as per this thread:<a href="http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/hardware-development/62668-dome-light-dimmer-delay.html" target="_blank">http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/hardware-development/62668-dome-light-dimmer-delay.html</a>Gotta admit, it does look cool. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />But this is where my first stumbling block has arisen. You see, this setup has a conflict with the existing Cobra Alarm system in that until the lights go to the "off" position completely, the alarm system thinks that the door is open and will produce a series of beeps... :banghead:Btw does anyone know what the blue relay in the attached pic is for? Its situated directly above the glovebox with its own socket, and produces a click everytime the door is opened/closed, so i'm guessing that it may be somehow connected to the OEM alarm system? Can't seem to find it in the manuals...</p></blockquote><p></p>
