I love the interior lights in my moms BMW that slowly dim to off. Is there a little module that I can buy so that I can do this to my truck (after I add the door jam switches). I've always wanted to have my interior light come on when I open the door, and I thought I might as well do it with some style

You'll have to search the schematics of a car that has the feature.
I've been thinking of something similar...my wife's car, the light stays on for 12 seconds after the door shuts, or untill you turn the key. That's what i want. |

On GM vehicles that feature is controlled by the BCM (body control module) good luck retrofitting it to a truck, might be a little difficult. It would be easier and cheaper if you just slowly close your eyes each time you close your door.

all it is is a resister that holds a little charge when it disipates it goes out. I know it is not as simple as that but that is the basic principal. my wifes firebird does it and the raido stays on till you open the door or for ten min. It would be easy to get it to work in our trucks if you got the wiring out of these cars that do it. and intergrate it.

I guess I could take my 2 years of Electrical Engineering and put that to work (I don't want to)

My wife's 96 Corsica has it. When you pull up on the door handle the interior lights come on.
