    Headlight/Park Lights Reminder Buzzer

    Im still getting used to the E30 and last night I walked out without turning off the headlights. Sure enough this morning the battery was dead. Is there a buzzer or tone I can install to help remind me to turn off the lights?

    It should be behind the knee bolster.

      As another new E30 owner, I have a similar predicament. No buzzer for me either

        The door chime is behind the knee bolster but I'm pretty sure the lights don't activate it. Def not on mine. Search, I'm certain there's a thread on this, and possibly a DIY on rigging the lights to your chime.

          Yeah. I've been caught a few time commuting to NYC only to find at the end of the day as I get back to my car my lights were left on = dead battery. I found a small buzzer I hooked up. I stole hot from the light switch and then I stole ground switch on from the clock/ temp unit. I think the clock/temp unit goes dims when car is off so that is where I got the idea to power buzzer when car off with lights on. I did it on 2 cars. Works great. Think I found the buzzer on flea bay.
