We just bought a *new* family can and I've gotta say that I enjoy the gadgets it has such as fade out interior lights. So when you close the door the light(s) stay on for say 10 seconds then fade out.
I want them on my old cars!
Anybody attempted this as I guess you can rip the components from a modern car ? and/or anyone seen a kit available for this ?

Kit:
Halfords used to sell an interior light delay unit, for under £10. Simply connected to one of the door switches. The interior light stayed on for a few seconds after the door was closed. They worked quite well, I fitted one to one of my older cars. Try Maplins or do a google search. I'm sure someone will still be selling them. Mike.
Maplins have a shedload of Time Delay kits.
Yeah, I got all excited at the Velleman kit and rather annoyingly it's the one Maplin doesn't sell. boo. Although their kit only has adjustable delay, no fade out/
The delay relays are easily available, but I don't see any delay + fade-out.

From a practical POV, what does it matter if it hasn't got fadeout? Mike.
The point is that I want the fade out.
