I have made and I'm thinking of selling such a device on my new website: www.corsamods.co.uk. | |

i saw a kit in my local motor factors on saturday, cost about £1.50 and was two wires and a black thing. | |

Will have a look at it soon see if I can get it done, but yep has electrician says, delay circuit timer is the way, really easy do that is aswell, just costs a bit more. | |

i spoke to an electrican, and not possible with a cap and a resistor.(please prove me if i am wrong with diagrams and specs :)) | |

at a guess I would say in between cap and bulb, I presume it would resist some of the charge in the cap, therefore making is last longer. | |

Where would you buy that stuff? anywhere online? | |

Try a 3300uF capacitor in line with the bulb, you then need to use a resistor to diapate the charge. This value will alter discharge time. Use a 1kohm resistor, link this across the capacitor. Not sure if directly across it or link one end to ground. Time for light to stay on until not current is flowing should be aprox 16s but it'll look dimmer well before that. | |

i have tried that, i have put two 3300 uF 16V Capacitors in parralel with the bulb, and when you cut the power, it dies instantly. What specs cap must i use ? | |

in my alarm when i dis arm it puts the light on till i start the engine up then it turns it off | |

u have to put a capacitor in parallel with the load (in this case the bulbs) | |

could you not just put a cap inline with the power to the light, so it would just stay on until the cap had discharged, and maybe fade out ? | |

Anybody know how to build on of these ????? | |

Scrap yards don't even have the old Corsa B in "Stock", let alone the Corsa C. | |

The corsa c has this, so if you have any scrap yards where you are - if u have the corsa c - u could get the parts from it. | |

i think it has been covered before, not too tricky, but if you have an alarm which uses the courtesy light then the alarms' functions may not work, as in it might not turn it not when you deactivate it and so on | |
