I love it when you close the cars doors and the interior lights stay on a mo then slowly fade out. Is it possible to do this to an 850? Also, as Im not electrical genius, if a 'dimmer' is possible would it work with led bulbs?

got a feeling maplins still do a kit to do that, & i can't see why it shouldn't work with LED's

looking at the diagram printed on it its very easy, one wire from the earth side of the interior light & the other to an earth. Its basically bridging the door pin switch
