left dome light on

so yea, i stupidly left it on all night for like 12 hours and i didn't notice till this morning when a lot of water has condensed on the roof of my car, except a big clean spot in the middle. does it run on the battery? car started fine today so far, good thing i didn't leave the headlights on, i just installed new 100w bulbs.

Yeah after a while when the door is open like between 10 or 20 min. it will go off. I think the BCM has a timer on the door lights.

just a helpful note.... on your 100w headlight bulbs.... that is way over the rating of the wiring for your headlights...... so there is a good chance that you will melt the wiring/connector....... I have even seen some headlight housings melted from over wattage bulbs...... I don't know the limits of the Max housings.... just be aware

tnx for the heads up, my friend rewired my whole headlight with new fuses, wires, harness, etc. i have nokyas and they do heat up real fast, hot enough to fry an egg on the headlight, but so far no problem.
