Headlight Auto Off

[deac0n]

Has anyone wired up their headlights so that they go off when the car is turned off?

Once again, I left the lights on in my car, and killed the battery...

What I'd like to do is have the lights stay on for a minute or two, then turn off, but I'd be happy if they just turned off when the car did.

I got a relay and plan on making a lights on sound
If you check the buzzer, It has 3 tones
The one time gong for black ice warning
The multiple gong ( I think for seatbelt)
There is a 3rd tone, that is also continuous
Now the buzzer has live power, so you activate each gong by feeding the pin with ground
So I was going to have the relay feed the gong ground when the lights are off AND the door is on
So you need both the lights to be on, and an open door to activate the gong

That's another option I was looking at as a fall back. I'd really like the lights to turn off by themselves.

This might sound silly, but leave yourself a note in the car somewhere if it's that consistent an issue. Pilots do it, there's no shame in it. Better to learn better habits than to hide them behind nannies in my opinion.

you could use a relay activated by the acc wire that provides power to the light switch
so when you turn the key off, the relay interrupts the power going to the light switch
and viola
lights turn off

where as right now the light switch has permanent power

My '86 es has this feature, I always thought it was stock. Not that I need it but it certainly does come in hand when I pump gas on the fly (at night of course)
