A tricky one for all you clever cookies

[JamieB]

right, this is gonna be lengthy lol

basically, i want to have 'neon' lights under my footwells and front seats.

i have ordered a sunbeam sound module (just think of it as a switch) which is gonna be powered from my sidelights

i want it so that when i flick the switch on, the lights come on (i)

but also when i open my door, they come on (supply from interior light), even if the switch is at off.

this meaning that if i was to unlock my car (the interior light comes on) my 'neons' would come on

i imagine that i need some form of relay.

this is a basic diagram (i think)

[sidelights cable} --------- {sunbeam sound module (switch)] -----------

|- [neons on]

[interior light (door open)] ----------------------------------------

youre wantingthe "neons" to flash along with your music? oh dear..

[JamieB]

its on a siwtch that allows me to turn it off, its just the novelty, im sure it will wear off quickly though,

but apart from the sarky opinions, any help?

[jamiea7x]

take your feed from the interior light and have your switch in line... so when your switch is on itll work with th einterior and when off itll be off

doesnt that mean that if i want them on with the doors shut, ill need to have the interior light on?

Right

Best way to start this!!

when you open the doors your want the neons on but not the side lights(if side lights are off)

when you turn the side lights you want the neons on

to achieve this! take positive from the side lights to a BOX

take the door switch positive to a BOX

this BOX should join the 2 connections!! then to the neons

on both side you want a electrical component called a diode, this allows power to flow one way but not the other!! so when the doors open the side lights dont come on but noens on and when the side lights are on the neons are on but not the door light

hope this helps mail me if u need help

ill scrap that talk to the expert called farther!! hes done me a diagram, thinking of something like it now!!

using relays

if u can read circuit diagrams then i can email it to you just pm me with an address and i will scan it
