Interior Light Fader
Has anyone ever bought one of those Interior Light Faders out of the LMC Catalog? In there new catalog they are on page 152 bottom right hand corner. Just wanted to know if they really work. Not cheap. $34.95 + ride.

About $5 in parts and some work on your part and you can make one.

PM me and I'll build one for you. I bet I have the parts in my spare parts box. (Electrical engineers have these sorts of things...) :-)

That would be a cool mod. How would you move the switch to the ground side? The switches in our trucks ground the light circuit which has 12v all the time. It could be done with a relay, but is there a more elegant way?

 BTW, the potentimeter (VR1) is used to control how long the light fades and the potentimeter (VR2) controls the intensity of the light.
