Having a hard time in my head on how to explain this. This is an overhead computer readout that had the tiny 168 sockets for lights. LED's in them still weren't bright enough.
So whipped up this reflection box to hold two 'Festoon' 500 lumens / 10000k per led LEDS. Refraction covers still go on them
Anyways, on wiring, can be simply tied into the existing 12v that turn on / off when opening the door and dimmer control. But the old light style had a 'push cover' that turned on / off each light when needed, independently from the door opening . - Not anymore.....
So how do I wire a switch so that they are always getting their voltage for when the doors are open and turn off when closed. (like factory)
But - when I want to flip the switch, both lights can be turned on manually at the same time - independent from when the doors are opened. Like turning them both on / off without having to open the doors.
Is it a switch with a third pole or something?
I really hope this makes sense.
Thank you!!!
