Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications General Mods Dimming "Theater" interior ligting

hey, i was wondering if anyone knows if there is, and where, a main wire for all the interior lights (the door lights) might be. I've been reading about the theater lighting and after seeing it on another car, i want to install it. im pretty sure that a cap in parallel with the lights (all the lights are in parallel too by the way) should work. I just need to know where the wire is so i can connect it. i looked at radio shack and it looks like this will be about a five dollar mod. let me know, thanks

I don't know if there is any single wire that powers all the coutesy lights in our cars. However, one guy put theater lighting on his tour; he did so by changing pretty much all his interior courtesy lights to LEDs then he wired in caps of smaller capacitence to them. I think this way would be better, because the LEDs draw less power, hence lower capacitence needed for the cap, which probably means lower price. But ya, i dunno where you could tap a sigle wire that actually powers all the lights rather than triggers them.

yeah if you did find a way to use only one cap it'd have to be pretty big.

i would LOVE to do this. i've never seen anything concrete about this on here. so someone was successful? i'm currently converting my lights to leds. any more info anyone?
