I currently have driver's side wired to the dome light, which works well for about 5 or 10 minutes. but the passenger is wired into the ABL, and goes off after about 30 seconds.

Unless you have the key in the ignition, but then the car beeps at you that the doors are open (to show the light).

someone smart (sick SS) suggestion car show door props, it should simulate the door being closed (no 'dummy' beep) while holding it open (keeping the lights on)


Thoughts? Ideas?

I'd add a switch carrying 12 volts with a diode in it. This way you can run the projectors as is, but you can also keep them on constant. Unfortunately you would probably have to snake a wire into each door, its a bit time consuming but can be done.
