Can these be installed to come on when the doors are opened and then turn off once I'm driving?

It goes by sound normally but what I did is wire it to my door light which wasn't very hard. Its basically a speaker wire. I didn't want any music stuff or anything like that. I just wanted it to come on when I opened the door.

The only way the light will turn off is by manually pressing the button. I had mine plugged into the car power plug rather than connecting it straight to the battery so it turns on only once the key is turned rather than when the inner lights turn on.

Yes. They come with a paper that tells u the link to a video that shows u how to install it to turn on when the door is open or when the headlights r turned on. However, u can manually control them at any time with it's control panel.

It would take quite a bit of work and taking your doors apart to get the wiring out. When I take my doors off, I leave my power mirrors in the doors and use a set of non-power mirrors mounted to the mirror brackets. Much easier to switch back and forth as well.

Yes you can, theres a button on top of the stardrive section to turn the lights on or off.

They're not really designed for that. They're designed to be activated by motion, and to stay on for a few minutes after detection. But, I would not recommend purchasing this product under any circumstances as it quit working entirely after two months.

not that i know off. you can always put the factory ones in anytime but it does take a while to install.

Only if you plug it into a power port that supply's power without the key on. They only lasted me a couple months in my truck then one quit working. Garbage. I wouldn't recommend them. You'd be better off getting some installed under your seat upulstry.

No. The lights only come on when it's in test mode. They'll be off normally

I did not do this, but I see no reason why not. I did plug mine in to a timer as there was no way to shut them off until sunrise (other than unplugging or a switch. A dimmer should work fine. These are worth their weight in gold for quality, ease of install, consistency of quality and design.

yes; follow directions. engine off, turn key to on and off until you hear your door locks click. it takes approx. 4 times on and off.

You can choose how you want to have it done (if you're going to an Auto Electric shop). What I did was when I turn on My head lights (at night) these will come on. If I don't turn on the headlights (by switching them on manually) these LED lights will stay off. You can also have them turn on when your DRLs turn on (instead of your headlights). If your car is older, you may not know what DRL (aka parking lights) is and you don't need to worry about it.

Yes. Bypass the flasher/control module and wire them directly to a continuous 12 volt source with a recommended switch so you can turn it on and off. Caution: They get extremely hot in summer months for this type application. Just be careful

Directions tell you how to wire them to come on automatically, but I'm sure it's possible to wire them to a switch instead or along with the automatic function.

I don't think so. You might be able to do it by covering the light sensor but the appeal of this product is the on/off capability.

Yes in a way, if you turn the factory switch to the on position, they will remain on (unless from the factory your lights are disabled when the ignition is off). In a typical users setup, the factory switch just acts as an override to the auto headlight function.

Quite the coincidence but yes they can.i did not know until after I had purchased them. I installed one set then the other. As I went to test the set I had just installed for connections and blown led bulbs. As I turned the second set on I noticed that my cars lights had also come on. The controls focus on the one with less than redistribution

I wired mine into the fuse box and use a switch to turn them off and on. You should try to wire them into the dome light somehow using the door latch switch

Only if you need them to operate independently. Your installation techie should be able to resolve the question for you.
