dimming exit lights

**jteske88** · 02-16-2012

oki have a 97 gtp and i was getting out of my 11 terrain and never really noticed the lights dim out, not just on off. Is there a way to do this to my gp? Or would this be a hassle.

get SMD LED's and enjoy epic ammounts of light instead. ive noticed mine are barely lit if the key is not in, and when im getting out they dim out slightly before shutting off.

I know they put it on my 97 Bonneville. So it was being done by GM around that time. Question is..did they make it available in GP's.

well bill, would you know what controls this funtion in your car? and odi i got two 18 led boads in my moon roof area, i think 2 20 leds boars in the floor and some peanuts in the back, i made my door lights myself though with a big ol led

IIRC it was a function of the BCM.

so i doubt i can mess with it then,

Well...here's a little known tidbit for you. The 97 Bonneville didn't come with the feature for the headlights to stay on after you unlocked with the fob. If you had a Tech2 and went into the features, you could turn it on. I think it was called illuminated entry.

uhm so i need to find a friend working in a dealer? do you know if you can put the factory alarm on i there to. i gots just keyless entry

**BillBoost37** · 02-16-2012

I'm unsure. A buddy had picked up a Tech 2 for a couple of days and let me get my paws on it for a few minutes. You know..I had to play around.

yeah maybe i wont get the carpet for my living room and purchase one looks like a valuable tool.

**BillBoost37** · 02-16-2012

Ahhh my buddy bought it, then sold it a couple days later. Money was back before he got the credit card statement.

**jteske88** · 02-16-2012

so they hold value good then?

**BillBoost37** · 02-16-2012

Over a 2 week period, yes.

**jteske88** · 02-16-2012
