Lights on :)

Hi

I always seen to leave my lights on, and I'm planning to take my Mazda to a electrician and see if I can ask him to connect my light wires to my key switch so when I turn off the car the light goes off not matter what :) a friend told that it will be easier if I ask the mechanic to install something that "beep" when I turn off my car and the light are on.

Any Ideas what is the best way to deal with this because I always forget my lights on?

Thanks

what kind of car do you have? most of them nowadays have a signal beep when you open the doors with the headlights on
 
My car emits a tone if I take the key out with the lights on...yours should too.
 
MSP has a tone too....one tone when you open the door with the car off and the key in, then you pull the key out and theres another tone if the headlights are on
 
all proteges have the tone.
Any decent audio/ security shop should be able to put a relay in line witht he headlight switch and trigger it with the accesory wire.
 
i have the same problem.. so now everytime i park the car i go thru the same routine.. do i have my wallet.. check.. do i have my keys.. check.. are the lights off.. check.. did i press the arm button on my alarm.. check.. at first i was real bad about it.. but after i got myself into a groove i find i dont forget anymore.

Alex!! Dude! There is the audible warning bell on the Mazda's that reminds you if you leave your lights on. Do you ever notice that sound when you leave the lights on, and get out of the car? Check it out. I would think that would be enough. I know on an older Civic I had, there wasn't a warning bell to tell you if you forgot to turn the (damn) lights off, and yes; I forgot a couple of times. 'pissed me off, too!! (rofl)

But; it's all grins now, baby!!

Guys thanks alot, I got a old Mazda from 92 and I haven't heard anything beep when I forget my lights are on :(

It just doesn't make sense to me that you have to turn off the lights everytime you turn off your car, is like having to turn off the stereo everytime you turn off your car, I just don't see the logic on that.

So I guess that I could try to find out if my car has that feature but is not working because a fuse is burn off, or do what 1st MP3 in NH said by taking it to a security or audio guy.

thanks

I did what 1st MP3 in NH told me, I took it to a audio/ security shop in Toronto and for 50 bucks they put a relay and now my light goes off when the key is out not matter what :)
