Looking for some input on my interior lightning project for my car - I've done some basic low voltage tinkering but this is where I'm getting lost.

The idea is that my LEDs would turn on with the dome light when I unlock my car, then stay on once the ignition is turned on until I park. The toggle switch is to turn them off while driving.

What components am I missing to make this viable?

Why not just have the hooked up to the dome light? Seems like you want to do the same thing the dome light does and the dome light already comes with a switch
>>
>>1204664
As for the way described in the OP, do you want the switch being off to override the dome light being triggering the LEDs?
>>
>>1204664
I don't want the dome lights running while driving, I just want to keep the fade effect from the dome light and so they turn on when I unlock the car and from what I've gathered that's the only way to keep that effect.
>>1204666
I just want the switch to toggle off the lights for driving (sometimes) as an option, by default id like the LEDs running but the dome lights off while driving.
>>
>>1204677
Not sure I communicated the question very well. The switch is off. The dome light turns on. What do you want to happen?
>>
>>1204680
Switch shouldn't affect the dome light. Dome light can keep on doing its thing like normal. I'm just tapping that circuit to obtain the fade effects because there's a controller doing that effect somewhere after the fuse box.

The switch I'd be adding would merely toggle on/off a different 12v circuit id tap at the fuse box so I could independently power the LED strips while the dome light also operates independently.

Thanks for the help guys !

OP again here

Basically I'm trying to use 2 power sources to a single device. One power source however would be intermittent and controlling the fade effects.

Hopefully that clarifies my scatter brained ideas

yes, decoupling prevents possible side effects.
