i kno our car is suposta have these..........but i left mine on tonight to test them, and waited for about 10 mins, and they still never went off..............whats the deal there? How do they work, and what is the time they stay on?

(btw..............its a 98 2.3, if that makes any difference)

 

dont know.... mine is a 2003 cls and they go off like less than a minute after i exit the car...

if i leave them in on position... they also come on when i hit the key fob as i return to the car...

not sure.. what the issue is for yours...

We don't have auto off headlights on first gen CLs.

 

 

Yup, the headlights are manual only.

 

thats why it dings at you!

 

Does anyone know how to install auto-off lights for the first gen cars? i drive a lexus on the side and never worry about it, so its annoying when i have to worry about the lights on the acura, especially when i drive at night.

 

^ i guess you could


but it is that hard to turn a knob 2 clicks.

 

So hard to turn a switch, my toyota lights shut off, but I had the CL long before and still know to shut the lights off

 

lol +6

 

maybe you could wire it into the ignition or something?

 

Hahahahaha!! Seriously?? Out of everything else you could do you want auto off headlights because you don't want to turn a knob 2 clicks?

 

If I have time I'll play with some relays at work and see if I can come up with a diagram to do this. Soon enough I'll be able to do it at home, just built a bench but still need to hook up a bench supply to it.

 

my jeep had them and I didn't even like them. People always try to tell you that you left your lights on as your walking away from the car

 

That would be tits if you could do this mod when locking the alarm/doors

 

That would be sweet...im a little lazy and forgettful a lot of the times and it would seem like something that would make things a lot easier espeically when im in and out of different places at night.

 

Well once i get some free time I still need to do retained accessory power in our cars. If I do that, I can tie auto lights to that so when you open the door they shut off.
