Interior Lights Delay Dimmer

This is a bit Pimp and a bit Techie.

I would like to make the interior lights in Mongo stay on for a few seconds then dim and then off. Like many modern cars have as standard. Now I was wondering if any here have seen a 'smart relay' that I could just connect to the interior lights in the front of my bongo.

I am also tempted to put a 10second delay relay on the strip light near to the sliding door just to give passengers a few seconds to get seatbelts on etc.

I found a electronic diagram of a system that should work but would like to buy a pre assembled one if I can as its less hassle.

I doubt the Ford thingy would work in a Bongo.

The cct link brings up a blank page.

Try this DIMMER UNIT
I thought of one in the rear, but my rear light is a flourescent.

Well for £5 I am going to try the dimmer kit.

The light by the sliding door is a florescent but you can use a 10second delay relay on it just to switch on and off. Which is my plan.

Some alarms have this feature, also turns light on as you remotely unlock doors. Refered to as'dome light supervision' on my alarm.

Timer looks like a simple add on though.
