Just curious. Is there anyway you can turn the courtesy lights off during the day? Seems pointless to me.

No...Unless u wanna take out the bulbs during the day and put them in at night

UNCTYPE-S

IMO, those courtesy lights should've been hooked up to the parking lights. What do I know though.

Well If it's night time and you are opening your door to get out of your car, I mean I don't know about you but I don't leave my lights on when I get in/out of the car

UNCTYPE-S

True, wasnt thinking of all situations. Oh well.

Might be able to wire in a photocell that'll come on when it's dark enough outside, and stay off when in full sunlight.

i do sometimes the lights go off by themself

sinfulj32

why not? thats why your car has the feature of the lights turning off and on automatically.

BigLizard

Why not wire up a switch to those lights so you can turn them on/off as you please

I was waiting for someone to say this. That's why I added Getting In.

UNCTYPE-S

eh, it's not bothering me that much. I just wanted to save LED life when I dont really need them on during the day.

o1s

you do know that leds last a very long time right?

UNCTYPE-S

Yes, I do.

I'd be more worried about the stock bulbs burning out sooner than the leds.

UNCTYPE-S

It's ok. I'll deal. I knew their were some secret tricks in the CL you could do, but I didnt know if this was one of them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led
LEDs have an extremely long life span. One manufacturer has calculated the ETTF (Estimated Time To Failure) for their LEDs to be between 100,000 and 1,000,000 hours [7]. Fluorescent tubes typically are rated at about 10,000 hours, and incandescent light bulbs at 1,000-2,000 hours.

this thread is going no where

I see what he saying. I bought the dome light LEDs from superbrightleds.com and it started blinking like crazy and not it doesn't do anything. Its because they design it for 12V but when a car is running it gives off more. (like 14.4) I had leds go bad in my integra and my bros integra the dome went out too. I know many other people its happened too. I going to make my own using super flex led.

?

Some threads do, then they get back on topic. As long as nothing is geared towards a mods job to close the thread comes up, why bother?

UNCTYPE-S

and people like you are the reason why.

ll1l2l1l2lll

i don't understand why you want to turn off your door lights? they don't waste that much battery, it would look like it was broken if they were off at all. sorry, i just don't understand why. and this is me, getting back into the topic =]

UNCTYPE-S

Because I personally, dont need them on during the day. Just thought there would be a feature or a sensor that turns them off. IT'S......NOT.....A.......BIG......DEAL! I will deal.

weaselbob74

That could be fun to try...wire in a light sensor.

I think it would be pointless but something to try...

hemhaw

I want the 2 minutes of my life that it took to read this thread.....back.
