Cj lancer unlock + lights

[klvru]

Sorry, knew it was confusing. So to simplify it,

1. Light on, then unplug the key light will goes off (as usual). Then when I unlock the car, the light goes on.

2. Light off, and when unlocking the car the light remains off.

e. With the relay, the headlight will goes on whenever the dome light turns on right? But I don't want the light to turn on during daytim

gotcha. depends how the stock light switch is wired. In theory when the lights are on it could signal the relay to flip over to the dome light circuit so then lock/unlock works. Depends if the lights are on ground switched or not, meaning they always have 12v+ and the switch controls the ground. (like the dome lights) if this isnt the case then when the cars off your light switch has no power to it so it doesn't do anything which im pretty sure is the case.

But just to clarify the way i have mine wired up, if i press the lock/unlock button the dome light comes on and so does the AE's but when i then get in the car close the door and turn the engine on, the dome lights dim off and so do the AE's. So if im driving around in the day the AE's arent on. if i turn my headlights on they still arent on. If i want them on while driving i have to flick a separate switch that then powers the relay so it no longer uses the dome light ground, instead it goes to a constant ground. When i open my door the dome light goes on as well as the AE's then when i lock the doors the dome lights dim off and so do the AE's.

So if you absolutely don't want the AE's to even flash on and off during the day then you'd be looking at some kinda light sensor switch or separate switch between the relay and the dome light ground you flick whenever you turn your lights off. So light switch off then AE switch off.

So basically all I need is to have a relay connected to the dome light and the headlamp?

I take it you want the lowbeams to come on when ever the door is open/unlock button pressed.
Totally up to you but I would probably stay away from splicing wires that have to do with safety features of the car ie headlights airbags etc.
so use at your own disrcetion...

I'm not 100% but in theory you should be able to use the same diagram for the angel eyes with the polarity flipped. So you'd put the relay in-between the factory+ and the actual lowbeam bulb. in its default position the relay should be closed so that the circuit is compete and acts normal. you'll then use the dome light circuit to send a + signal to open the relay and break the connection to the factory power source. your new power source will be a fused 12v line from the battery. So doors open or unlock the battery will directly power the lowbeams and once the doors closed and engine turns on, dome lights go off and relay switch off the battery line and reverts back to normal lowbeam control.

Tricky bit is that the dome light trigger is (-) so your gonna need 2 relays.

that one should change the dome light trigger to a positive trigger.

as for location of the dome light wires they're located on the interior fuse box. theres a thread on here with pictures and everything labelled.

I'm making the assumption that the lights will run off of straight 12v from the battery, i know the DRLs work by regulating the voltage sent to the lowbeams so its a lower output but i dont know if the lowbeams are powered by the full 12v in full operation.

Your very helpful Glenn I wanna do the same with the angel eyes someday
