Default Kent L's inspiration/motivation for an Illumination override circuit...HUD boost, etc.....

if anyone need a bypass circuit for a component installed with an illumination circuit fed off of the park lamp/h/l circuit, let me know. You still retain the normal park lamp "on" status for dimming your boost gauge for example.

I've got the design done, just need to test it fully and Kent L is the guinea.

Sorry I haven't finished the ESP bypass yet....this was more fun..

Default say for instance someone puts an aftermarket radio in their car and ...

they want it to dim out with the rest of the lighing when the park lamps are turned on for instance.....i've got a cool bypass for it that still retains normal operation if desired.
