Hi Every one,
I am looking to make a controler for My pop up headlights on My car,
just for kicks as I like projects. So I have decided on a PCB board
micro controler DIY project I found online for My car but here comes the bad part
the schematics for the PCB are no longer hosted on the website
I dont know how to draw up the schematics for the Board or for the right parts
but after alot of searching around i have managed to draw up a set of schematics.

Now I Fully plan to use The programe and all the details from the DIY website..
what I would like to know is will this schematic I drew up work for the DIY project
on the Guy's 'website here is a link to the Project I am taking a stab at
http://members.dslextreme.com/users/ltruong/sleepyeyes.html
be 100% Blunt with me this is my very first project like this and I welcome all and any Advice
when I get all the details worked out I will build it but for my first build I am making a pic progamer...
///On another Forum a member told me (and i qoute)///
Looks good to me, assuming the unlabeled resistors are within a reasonable value. Not sure about the one on drain. You shouldn't need those.
One tip though: The use of the PIC isn't all that great. What I mean is, PORTB looks much better for input with weak pull-up and int-on-change. Many people put resistors on switches, but you can save space/wire by using WPU. Just replace the 5V with ground, and in code enable WPU on PORTB and reverse the branch logic
///end qoute///
So given that advice i drew up this set of schematics...

How is this compaired to my first attempt??
Then i was emailed a link to this forum
so i am posting the same question I am completly new to all this only been reading up on it the last few days..
Thanks for all your advice and help
Cheers
