Dear Rennlisters,
My wife finds it dificult to see the ignition keyway in the car.
We had this same problem with our previous 930 where I added a light to the dash to resolve this issue.
Our present car is a 993. I wish to add the same small light to illuminate the keyway.
On the 993 there is a nice feature that keeps the two interior dome lights on while entering the car. Fo this reason I wish to tap into this circuit and add a LED or incandecent bulb to light the keyway.
Does anyone have some insights into where to tap into the hot wire for the delay circuit without having to run a wire all the way from the dome light assembly?
Any help provided is greatly appreciated.

Just don't read this thread:

I'll see if I can find the DIY for keyhole illumination.
