Parking/"see you home" lights.
Hello,
Does anyone recall the P38 had a function, where it would lock, and leave some lights on for 30 seconds to give you time to get indoors? I would like to achieve something similar on my truck, but not sure how that would work. A gradual dim would be cool too.

Any electrical gods here? Bow down

Wasn't there a function on the Disco II or has my memory totally flown out of the window?

Something along these lines would help wiring wise: time delay relay 12v
They are all sellers from abroad though... $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

My Disco II ES had that feature. It would be good to have that on my Defender. 2015 90 XS CSW TDCi - Beautiful

2005 90 Td5 XS CSW - Utterly brilliant

Delay timers are all very well... but boring! - Better solution: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171119297339

That + as high amp relay will work, simply wire it to activate the relay and have the relay effectively short the light switch.

The same method could be used to make a remote starter for the cold winter months, but only on older vehicles without the key chip immobiliser. It would be perfectly safe too... we all park in natural and trust our handbrakes right? Laughing

Our Disco 3 and Freelander 2 have it. Pain in the back side sometimes, especially when you go back to the car because you think you've left the light on! Laughing An engine to TDi for!
