i was thinking i could just use a module that would start at lets say 12v output, and every 1/8th a second drop a volt until it reaches 0v ha.

apparently it's not that easy :)

If you could dim those loads with voltage drops, you'd just use resistors (maybe thru transistors), or the dimmer circuits shown before.

This is starting to sound like a right kludge with lots of potentially expensive pit falls. Just use a 528t and a mini relay as an ignition interlock.

I thought the issue was dimming various "dome" lights.

Hence the dimming circuits. But since different "non-tungstens" are being used, such voltage dimming circuits are not suitable.

But I'll wait for the sk8r to return....
