You could put an ignition switched relay in the feed to the light switch?

I'll have ago at that ignition switch relay thing.  May need some help though as i'm not that savvy with that kind of thing ha!  You guys think it would work?

No there no noise to tell me there still on... Assume there should be?  :drool:

Also i'm getting help on this on another forum...

The advice on there is that this would do what i'm after, just wondering if anyone else can confirm this cheers!

My door module has been knackered for months, I had a flat battery when I finished work yesterday because I'd left my lights on in the morning :embarrassed:

Ugh after a look at the guide for replacing the door lock module i think i may just fit the auto light switch i found on ebay.  Looks much easier and handier too!
