All,

I am sorry in advance if this has been posted here before.

I have a 2001 Accord 3.0L V6.
I was wondering if there is mod/hack to turn on the Overhead lights (Right above the center console) along with the Dome light every time I open the door or unlock the car?

Thanks.

 

Yes, wire them into the dome light and hope the dimmer can handle the load. Replace the bulbs with LED's and it shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks for the reply.

Is there a post on honda-tech, I can refer to to do this?
I am just a little nervous not to blow a lot of fuses by this mod.

Also, where would you recommended to get the LED's?

Thanks.

 

Here is where you can get replacement led bulbs.
You need to have a dmm, take the bulbs out of the normal interior light and measure at which point you have positive voltage. then you need to measure on which connection at the dome light at the front you have positive voltage. you can then lead a wire from one to the other, assuming you also can measure a gnd connection at the 2nd connector at the front. It also depends on which part of the voltage is the switched part, if you have steady + connection at both, then the gnd connection is the switched part and you need to route a wire with gnd connection.
