stupid me, left hid's on and juiced my batt.

This past beautiful weekend, my friends and I went to wipe our cars down. I had spent about a couple of hours when I realized me head lights were on. When I went to turn the car on, all I heard was a clicking sound.

Luckily for me my friends gave me a boost.

Geez, these hid's take a lot of power don't they.

Unless the Canadian CL is different, they should turn themselves off after 15 seconds.

How did this happen? Your lights automatically turn off after about 15 seconds, unless you still had your keys in the ignition.

They do; unless your door doesn't close all the way when you leave the car! I noticed this once when I came out of a convenience store and the lights were still on!

Yet another example of "just plain stupid" engineering from the folks at Honda.
