Here is a circuit I used, originally based on a Maplin kit.
WHAT IT DOES
It holds on the interior light for 20-30 seconds after opening the door, but
immediately turns it off if the Ignition Switch is turned on or the Exterior
Alarm activated.

HOW IT WORKS
C is normally charged up & T1 darlington held on by the current through the 1M,
T2 power darlington (or VMOS FET) is held off.
Opening the door the lamp lights & C is discharged through D3 turning off T1.
Now on closing the door T2 is held mostly on (1.5V drop) through the 4k7 until
the C is charged up to 1V via the 1M. At C = 1V T1 is again turned on & T2
turned off. The addition of the 3k3 makes this a snappier action keeping T2's
heating down.
If either the Ignition or Alarm circuits are powered while C is less than 1V it
will immediately be charged up & the light extinguished.
LOCATION
This circuit does not need power itself, only an earth, so the location is not
too critical. If switched power lines like the Ignition & Alarm are at risk
with this addition, consider putting a 4k7 in series with each wire so that
accidental shorts to earth can't harm anything.
Note this circuit draws about 2.2mA all the time, & although a very small
current it may add to other loads on a parked car battery!
Why Don't U send an interesting bul?
