As the title explains. I don't have streelights in my area and It's a pain finding my car in the dark. Many people with their modern cars take this novelty for granted. I've even heard that some Zeds do it however mine does not.

I've already got my auto window closer and mirror folders to trigger when I lock it so the next trick bit is the interior light.

 

Enlighten me, what's the simplest way?

You would need a time delay type switch wired up to the interior light and to the door delock circuit. It would be a time delay relay so would hold open for as long as required to be set. Not sure if these have ever come standard on a zed but it would be the way to go not amazingly difficult just a case of threading the wires around the car and finding where the interior light ones come down to.

I posted something similar a while back and various people were saying they had it on their Zeds and it was perhaps something wired off the alarm...

yes i would say some alarm engineers may wire this is as standard on an alarm fitting so you could speak to them

'Find my car' but surely when you zap your hazards flash.

 

My interior light doesn't come on when I unlock/disarm but of course opening the door does.

 

It sounds like you will be better served when the hazard flash the headlights come on or perhaps sidelights, much the same as my merc does, then you must be looking at the alarm workings :wink:

Yeah my hazards flash when I unlock (Can't run to my car that quick).

 

I suppose having the sidelights come on instead would be better but I figure the interior light would be easier.

Or what are people's opinions on subtle white lights under the car rather than in the interior light coming one when it unlocks..?

My Toad would light the interior lights when I unlocked my Zed using the fob, not sure about just the key itself.

I got a remote fob controlling a Cobra alarm.
