Wouldn't the wiring be the same as a 99? I have a 99 Si and it does that. My dome light isn't original. It is out of a 97 Accord. But there isn't anything in the light that controls the fade...

It would probably be controlled at the ECU so I doubt just swapping wiring and such would give you that feature if you don't already have it. You do just have a regular light bulb in it and not an LED correct? Because they don't fade normally.

yes i have the regular light bulb. i was also told that if i want this feature, all i have to do is slap on a factory EM1 radio. because the dome light is controlled by the factory player. do you have any clue on this?
