Courtesy Light Extenders - $20 each plus shipping (or pickup from Cheltenham, VIC). Ph: 0422575485 or 9584 2386

Description of item (comes with instructions and circuit diagram):

The Courtesy Light Extender is designed to keep the courtesy light ON for between 1-15 seconds (can be adjusted) after the door has closed. The light then gradually dims, and finally goes out.

The only cars that you would see this on are, expensive cars that accommodate luxury options. So this courtesy light extender unit is a very affordable and easy addition that will allow you to bring this options to your own vehicle.

When entering the car, the courtesy light will give you enough time to put your keys in the ignition, fasten your seatbelt, check the kids and put your mobile in the holder. When your getting out of the car it will let you lock your car and find your way out of the garage in the dark.

Some circuits keep the light on for a pre-determined time then turn it off quickly but this unit gradually dims the light at the end of the 15 seconds so you know when the time has expired. The Courtesy Light Extender is placed across the door switch, interior light or the interior fuse. It is quick and easy to install.

The wire to the door-switch is easily accessible, either through one of the panels on the door or where it connects to the interior light itself. The unit is small enough to feed through the hole of the temporarily removed door switch. this will allow you to install the unit in the chassis behind the switch.

If the Light Extender has been connected across the interior light itself then it will work for all of the doors on the car. If the Light Extender has been placed on only one door switch, say the driver's door, then it will only work when that door is closed.

The two Contact Connectors included will allow you to connect the leads from the light extender module to the existing car wiring without the need for cutting, stripping, slicing or soldering the original car wiring loom. This will allow you to uninstall the unit as easily as it was installed.

The connection of this circuit will not change or modify the original face-value of the car, because you are adding the unit in parallel with the door switch and not cutting any wires or modifying the original state of the car.

This unit cannot damage, in anyway, the circuit containing your battery, the door switch, the interior light globe or any of its components.

lol - my 1986 R31 Skyline GXE had that... hardly "luxury" but anyway, it was cool :D

So do these work off just any 12v line and drop the voltage over time?? I might have some others uses for these in my car. Let me know..

cheers

  • 2 weeks later...

not trying to steal ya idea at all mate, as if i wantred to do it i would just spend the $20 and buy one off ya :D

but whats in the circuit? is it just a cap with a pot (as you said its adjustable) ... couldnt see it being too much more than that really?

cheers

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
