[6pack] Headlight Timer

[David Murray]

You can get daytime running light headlight modules here in Canada for
around $25; they operate the high beams at a reduced light output (50% I
think) whenever the ignition is turned on.  I suspect they are available at
your local USA parts store also.

I too got tired of begging for jump starts :)

Has anybody rigged a timer to turn headlights off a minute or so after the
ignition is turned off?
I usually drive with my headlamps burning, but I often forget to turn 'em
off
when I park.
I'm tired of responding to people pointing out that my lights are on with a,
"Oh, they'll go off in a couple' hours."

I'm just about to install a relayed headlamp circuit, so I could simply rig
'em to turn off with the ignition,
but there're uses for 'em with the ignition off ... if they'd turn
themselves
off after a couple minutes.

Anybody ever install an off-the shelf module for this?
