Domelight over ride?

[putskijr]

Hey guys, does anyone know if there's a possibility to hook up a switch to kill the interior lights? It'd b sweet if I could figure something out and I've searched a little but haven't come up with any solutions yet. I'm sure other people have been wondering bout this too and think it'd be a great mod to our cars. Thanks!

hook in a switch in between the interior fuse, or splice a switch into the headlight switch to the interior lights

i think i have anther idea to get it to work properly if and only if the switch has to be grounded out you can run the ground to the door switch ground so it will still activate the lights when the door is opned w/o the nucences of having to flip a switch everytime you need to turn on the lights

yes! the wire you're looking for is in the drivers side kick panel, at the BCM. theres 2 connectors plugged into the BCM, 1 with 8 thick wires and 1 with 32ish thin wires. in the harness with the 8 thicker wire, the DARK BLUE wire is listed as "courtesy lamps supply voltage" in my factory service manual, so i believe thats the wire you'll wanna put a toggle switch in between

its simple. my gp does the same thing. just slide the knob (the one that slides from L to R, located under the light switch) all the way to the right,, until it clicks, then slide it back. so every time you close the door, or just open and shut it for a second, just rememder "slide Right, click, slide left), and the lights shut off automatically and stay that way as long as you keep the door closed.
