Subject:Installing Delay Interior light.(questions)

Hello list,

I hope anyone that has installed a delay interior light may chime in. I
recently bought one of this delay lights from a list member to modify the
interior lighting in my vanagon, but it is not working like I like it to

Alistar Bell has a write up on this on his website. I notice that the
interior lamp that he obtained still had the wireing plug and some wires
that he spliced directly to the wires in the van:
Brown (br) Ground
Brown + White (br+w) Switchable Ground
Red (r) Positive, juice, power.
He mentioned that installing one lamp (on his drivers side) controlled the
delay of the rest (~6 sec)
Im not getting that result as a matter of fact my light just stays on even
when the door is closed. I do not have the plug that connects to the lamp
and was connecting the wires directly to the lamp.

Can someone verify where the grounds should be plugged? I believe the red
(+) should be placed in the middle the 3 connections.

Thanks,
Tony
