Does anyone have a pic of one has I have a load of relays and cant remember what one it is

Many thanks

Slightly OT but is that just a 'plug 'n' play' option to add dimming lights?

Cheers.

Follow these instructions if you want to retrofit delayed lights...

Lights dont dim with the OE relay. They simply turn off after 8 seconds.

Thanks guys

I have just read this post

how do you know if you have the drivers door handle switch

You can connect a continuity meter to the pin at the delay module's socket, and check for continuity or otherwise to earth as you lift/release the door handle, but if the car wasn't fitted with a delay module from the factory, then it won't have the door switch.

So I will have to join together the TK and TG pins of the relay

Yes, if you don't have the door switch.

I dont thin kI do as I dont have the delay timer

is it possible to use the back door switches some how and have them connected to door pins on the front doors so it works if any of the 4 doors are opened, or are we talking about something totaly diffrent

We ARE talking about something completely different, but it's possible to do as you say. Simply disconnect the direct connection to the interior lights from the pin switches, and run a wire from the switches to the TK and TG pins instead.
The standard set up only works on the driver's door anyway, so I also convert the passenger door as well.

How do you convert the passenger door

Disconnect the existing light wire from the pin switch, connect a new piece of wire in it's place, and run it over to the driver's side and connect it to the TK and TG pins as well.

So lets get this right all I have to do is join together the TK and TG swap the wires around and if I want the pass door to work aswell connect the pin of the pass switch to TK and TG

Easy as that

Easy as that!

so does somebody fancy doing a walk thru on this from start to finish including the wiring for the passenger side, i've tried following smithy's guide before but not had any success

I will be doing this some time on tuesday if you can wait that long

Ok tryed this this morning all almost all good

The only problem I had is in the wright up it says cut the brown/green wire and join it to the brown/yellow wire is this at the back of the relay or do you cut the plug off and connect it to brown/yellow wire.??

Please help as I think I was so close but so far

Anyone please

Cut the brown/green a couple of inches from the module.
Tee the piece that comes from the module into the brown/yellow wire.
Abandon the rest of the brown/green that disappears towards the door socket.

Thanks mate I will have a go tomorrow and let you know hot I get on

One think I did notice is there seems to be a power wire for the alarm (bmw alarm) pluged in to the relay socket
