Lights kill switch

VectorVictor9 · 12-02-2019, 09:41 PM

Hypothetically, would anyone know how to wire an F30 to have a kill switch for all exterior lights while the rest of the vehicle operates normally? So headlights, turn signals, taillights, brakes, etc. (Asking for a friend)

ooshnoo · 12-02-2019, 10:07 PM

Hypothetically, no.

AndDown · 12-02-2019, 10:52 PM

Hypothetically, why?

I was hot footing with a built Camaro that had this. Headlights on, tails off.

Funny, he took off and I could hear him but not see him. Loud ass car.

I'm sure they could be coded off, but not wired to a switch.. Those are Honda's that do that..

BeerHerder · 12-03-2019, 09:18 AM

I'm pretty sure someone did it in an M5 that was used on a Cannonball run. No idea how, though...

Gen13 F36 · 12-03-2019, 09:24 AM

I remember this chase .... the driver turn off all the head light... but he forgot that DRL (halo light)

The0pportunist · 12-03-2019, 09:38 AM

So which bank did you want to hold up ?

ndx6spd · 12-03-2019, 10:26 AM

Wait, what lights do we have on if we disable DRL/Halo and turn the dial to off?

So i guess just tail lights would be sufficient then now that I think about it... Anyone with ideas how?

chowser51 · 12-03-2019, 04:06 PM

In the old days we had brake light cut out switches on our patrol cars. We don't anymore. So it can be done. Man, I'm old.

You'll have to somehow tap into the REM module in the back and attached a switch to cut power to the lights. As to how to exactly do it I have no idea.

If you do the "Rear Fog Light" mod, you can instead repurpose that button to independently toggle-control the tail lights by remapping the parameters below:
