dome light dimmer location for 81-83zx's?

does anyone know where the relay/timer [which controls the fadeout-dimming of
the dome/underdash lights] is located in the 81-83 280zx's?

Yes!
It is behind the FI computer, just to the left of the driver's feet. Unbot the computer, lay it to the side (still plugged in) and you will see two little plastic boxes bolted to the car behind where the computer was. I think the top box is for the dimmer. It shoudl say "Dimmer Relay" on the relay. the other relay says what it is for. The will sometimes blow out and your interrior lights will not work. (except for the door lights which will go on and off instantly)
