    mod ignition key to kill all lights?

    How challenging would it be to wire the parking lights and cluster lights to go off when the key is turned off? I'm brain damaged - start my commute in the dark, arrive in the light, and leave my lights on at least once a month.

    Any wiring gurus want to address this? Explain everything simply - remember I'm not even smart enough to remember my light switch.

    Do I LOOK like I need a psychological evaluation???

    Couldn't you just simply wire it as Ignition as your 12v to light switch or an accessory for power? Using it as your 12v as opposed from the fuse box directly.

      Find the wire going to the headlight switch that is constant power, disconnect it, then hook the switch up to a switched power source.

      Or fix your door gong.

        Any circuit that you would want illuminated by your accessory switch can be done so by finding the illumination power wire, disconnecting, then connect to ignition accessory.

        For example, you could remove the cluster illumination wire from the harness and connect to accessory. That way the accessory turns on illumination, not the headlight switch. Power will be removed when you remove key.
