Light problem
hey guys, when you start up your car, do your lights come on ?

I have to manually turn mine on... I checked the fuse it's ok, is there a relay or something somewhere??

Thanks

No?

They shouldn't come on unless you have the headlight switch turned so they'll be on..

And if left on, there's that annoying buzz that alerts you...unless you have driving lights for some reason?

Has anyone modified their lights to have them go off with the ignition? I sure miss this feature that my 95 Volvo 850 has.

It's pretty easy actually...I did something like that with my new headlights but I used one of the wires from the turn signal for the day time driving lights. I can wire them running the ACC cable from the inside to the headlights but it's much easier the way i did it...

Thanks for replies guys..


The thing is they used to turn on before, as soon as I turn the car on, now they dont... I checked all the fuses they are fine, but is there a relay somewhere that controlls this?

Forgot to mention the main reason I want this feature back is because I left the lights on the other day and compleatly drained my battery.

Don't you have a buzzer that goes off when you leave your lights on?

Yes, but that buzzer is just seriously too annoying so I disconected it...
