Gentlemen begin drooling... ladies remove your clothing.. it is finished!
From prototype to nice neat finished enclosed circuit with a wiring harness and simple 4 wire install..

I built a dome lamp dimmer for my 80' Bertone Coupe and DAMN IT'S SMOOTH.. I designed it all around a circuit that I built from a scematic that I found online but I had to make a lot of changes to it because it was looking for +12 to trigger it while volvo uses the door switches to short to ground when opened. had to build another circuit that shuts power off to the entire circuit after like 30 seconds of being triggered (more than enough time for the lights to fade out completely) becuase the circuit hogged power even when it wasn't doing anything so I had to make the other circuit to keep from coming out to a dead battery.. but it is installed and works beautifly and as the kids would say.. "Yo dawg that shit is ill... supa clean and tizite... yeah nukka its mad dope." pretty fly fer a white guy ehh??? hehe I also ganked the turbo wheels (the ones off my old 242) from my mom's 245 and threw them on my bertone till i get around to buying 17"s or 18"s fer it.. looks hella better.

Anywayz if there is interest in this I MIGHT just take the time to write up a how-to on doing this to your brick... well I'm off to go sit in my car and repeatedly open and close my door to watch my cool ass lights.
