White light when unlocking turns to yellow when opening door...

I know this has been discussed before but I cannot find where.

There is clearly two different bulbs in the dome. When you unlock the car a bright white LED illuminates the interior, but when you open the door it changes to the halogen lamps, or the halogen tinted LED's. Whichever it is.

Has anyone figured a way to code the white light to be the default? I am an experienced coder but have not had time to poke around in the settings and see whats up.

I know what you are talking about. But it does not change to the Halogen bulbs, but they do not exist. There is only LED in there.

What you are seeing is dimming.

That's what I thought.

It's not just dimming the white led, its two separate lights I think. I had a friend sit in the car while I unlocked and opened, lol.
