Yeah, thanks to you, too.
I'm sure we confused some people, haha

Ger: I think your best bet is to follow Meir's lead. You can buy the timer circuit pre-made and once he posts wiring instructions, it will be simple. My only question is what would happen if you don't lock the car; how long does the "consumer switched off" circuit stay active if the car isn't locked? I've read 10 minutes, 2 hours, 10 hours and indefinitely. I've never checked.

The lights will go off after 20 seconds.
Didn't wait to see when the cluster turns off as its not relevant.
