LOL
you're my fave.
always know the right thing to say

ps. for anyone that hasn't seen it, i'm gonna hijack this thread for my own

Yeah not only does this nerd have a Auto On/Off Light Circuit but he also has a PC in his car, What kind of a nerd puts a PC in his car jeez

 

damn Rodger, you just need to start shipping this stuff out to me C.O.D.; you know I'm always up for **** like this.

 

so then what's your next project?

 

that's right! i am always in his car

 

touché

 

question if i were to venture out and make one of these a would they work for other cars? say a dodge caliber (fiance's car) and b do you have pictures of where you hooked it up to the cig lighter and tapped into the headlight wires?

 

Yes, this should work in just about any car. The wiring is different in every car. So pictures of where I tapped the wires in a RX-8 isn't going to help you install it in a Caliber.

 

agreed but i have an 8 and want it as well :D

 

I'll take some pictures later.

 

rr i have a question about your circuit board/schematic. and your board im assuming that the black box with the clear top is the relay but what is the blue component that is over the three diodes?

 

Those are both relays. I was limited to what radio sack had in stock.

 

sold

 

haha ok because i was looking at your schematic and was like where the f*** is the other relay! thx for clearing that up man

 

Could you list all the parts needed to add the automatic headlights? I might look into doing this.

 

if anyone is interested in a simpler setup, my head lights turn on with the ignition, and off when you turn the car off. less than 7 in parts, and maybe 30 minutes for someone with little experience

 

Hey Rasp... I want to build the automatic headlight circuit driving by the photocell. However, I do not want to use relays. Do you have a circuit diagram with the relays replaced by transistors? Also, where do you connect the output of the circuit to the headlights (i.e. Where do you find the wires to connect to)? Thanks.

 

hehe i e-mailed him these questions a couple days ago so i'm pretty sure it is safe to assume that he will be making another appearance to this thread :D

 

Hey guys,

I took pictures yesterday and I'll post them later.

 

you rock

 

Rasp... Are you also going to post the scatematics with transistors instead of relays?

 

Rasp... I need that scarematic please.

 

these are the three wires you have to tap. Just remove the three screws that hold the plastic steering column cover and you'll see these wires. I don't have time to make a new schematic, but adding those tranistors should be pretty straight forward.
