yup, thats from a UK with immobiliser. Hope your car still starts

Yep...all works fine, everything is back as normal just tucked out the way!

good work. I need to get round to doing this sometime. Excellent little write up with some good pics

Your welcome...gonna look into wiring it up and it's all done!

run it off the courtesy light and add a small time delay circuit would be my option. this will keep the light on after the courtesy goes off. set delay with a variable resistor.

any good with electronics? if not there are some timer relays that will do the job nicely

You read my mind...looking into that sort of connection and method of controling the light.

I have done a full LED conversion...including heater controls so used to soldering and such.

get yourself over to www.celica-club.co.uk

there's a few guy on here over there and I'm sure they'd appreciate this mod and its pics as a little write up. guys over there are a bit more local

I think I am already...I just cannot remember my details? Once I do, I shall get on there as well.

I was thinking of doing mine with a 2 way LED, using regular ignition power and the flasher from my aftermarket alarm/immobiliser.

That ignition barrell you have Welsh-Celica still confuses me, I've never seen anything like it.

You would have thought that the models are standard is this department...it looks like there are differences in the prefacelift models and even between UK spec and Euro cars...not to mention USA based and Japanese cars!!!

I have found a nice little circuit diagram for which will help change your interior/courtesy lighting...it will softly get brighter and then once door is closed it will then fade to darkness slowly.

The timings can be varied with the size of the reister used:

Oh how I wish I knew what any of that meant. I sure liked that feature on my 4Runner!

I have found several little circuit diagrams when doing some research...I shall post some more info soon that has bit more of an explanation.

Apparantly, you can purchase an already made circuit that you can just connect to the lighting?

You sure do rock!

I try my best!

i am just going to do this conversion on my celica, but trying to get the transponder to see the key aint easy!

well i see some resistors a capacitor and a transistor and the lamp, but the other thing below the lamp i have no idea.

and a diode

It's a MOSFET (Power Transistor). Google BUZ74.

Also, missed the transistor, BC337

well i wired mine up using the celicas on board 5 second timer for the factory fit ignition light!!

easy peasy!!
