    Interior light delay with auto dimming - ***$75.00***

    ONE LEFT

    I have 1 available. First come, first serve.

    Shipping is USPS Priority mail - that's 2-3 days for most of the US.

    $75 + $4.60 Shipping, and I'll throw in an OBC temp sensor for free.

    It works just like newer BMW’s, when you close your driver’s door, it keeps the the lights on, and then slowly fades out over a period of about 30-45 seconds.

    It has an added feature that when you turn the key, it dims down the light quicker, so that you can start driving. Anyone that had driven a newer BMW knows this feature. It adds a really cool lighting effect, and is very useful at times. Like when you need to read a map real quick.


    - Over 100 happy customers!
    - Quality construction
    - PWM (pulse width modulation) design uses very little current, less then the stock relay
    - Custom printed circuit board.
    - Replaces stock relay
    - No cutting, no splicing
    - Installation only requires a Phillips head screw driver and a 8mm socket.
    - Bench tested to over 50,000 cycles with out failure, about 6+ years of normal use



    Here is a look "under the hood"






    - remove the drivers side bottem dash cover to gain access to the hood relase cable bolts (8mm) and remove the bolts.
    - Remove the speaker panel and the speaker.
    - Remove the two screws that is just below the speaker opening and reach into the speaker cavity and pull the bracket out
    - Remove relay, and plug in the new dimmer mod.
    - button it back up and you are done.



    QUESTION: How do I check to see if I have the stock relay?
    ANSWER: Don’t worry, you don’t have to take anything apart.
    Simply open your drive’s door, kneel down, and slowly and
    gently push in the black pin in your door jam (it’s on the car not the
    door), you should see your interior light go out when you do. Now do
    it a few more times slowly, and listen for a clicking sound
    coming from about where the speaker is. If you hear a click, you
    have a relay and are good to go.

    QUESTION: "Does it require no extra modification for it to dim
    down quick when you turn the key or do we have to tap into the
    ignition switch?"
    ANSWER: No extra
    work, it is plug and play. remove the stock relay, and replace with
    this. ZERO cutting, ZERO splicing...

    QUESTION: Where exactly is the relay that it replaces?
    ANSWER: The stock relay is located below the speaker on the
    driver side foot well. Basically, you remove the kick panel, and then
    pull the speaker out, undo two screws holding the relay bracket
    and pull the bracket out from under the speaker cavity, replace
    the relay, and you are done.

    QUESTION: What happens if I don't have the stock relay, will
    this still work?
    ANSWER: Yes, you will need to splice two wires to make it work, when you paypal me request the non-stock relay version.

              Yep. AND you can add more lights in the furture. I've tested the unit to about 40 watts of lighting (the limit my power supply would allow)

                Most like yes. I want to start having the PC boards I make myself, manufactured in China of all places - it will greatly reduce the time it takes to make these, but the price might rise by $10.

                            Oh - I havent tested it with LEDS - YET. I did make some up (same thing that is sold online - it's nothing more than a bunch of leds and a matched resistor in case you wanted to know) - twist my arm and I'll hook them up tomorrow to make sure - I'm 80% sure it will.
