headlights don't chime if left on
hey i've left my headlights on after turning my car off about 5 times so far and one time was for a couple hours n my batt was dead.. i have a 94 civic ex ... and when the lights are left on there's no chime or beep to let me know i've done so ... i can't remember all the time to turn them off ... is there supposed to be a chime btu maybe a fuse is blown ? if not is it possible to install one? i've searched abotu 6-7 different variations of the words "headlight chime, light beep, light alert" etc. but i came up with nothing. any info or links would be much appreciated. thank you. 
On the bright side, it lets you know when you leave your keys in the ignition.

My mom's 95 did not have a chime or buzzer. I think they didn't come with them until 96. I wired one up for her, but I'm having trouble remembering how now. I'll think on it a bit, and post back later...

Re: headlights don't chime if left on (JRI94)
i bought this ...
http://www.radioshack.com/prod...2D055
i tried connecting the black wire to different fuses like the wiper/washer ... front right (power window), and even the power door lock (all 20As) and i put the red wire on left / right high and low beams ... i still got no buzz ... the buzzer works because i grounded the black wire to some metal and then when the car was off id put the red wire on the headlight fuse n it would buzz ... i don't understand the logic behind fuses i've been reading up on them and electrical stuff ... seems like i need a relay that checks to see if headlight and ( something else that's on when the car's off ) if it is then it sends power to the buzzer ... is that what a relay does? is that what i need? im kinda desperate .. i had to push start my car down my driveway today because while trying to install the buzzer i left my lights on n went in to check the forums to see if i could find any help .. when i came out my batt was dead lol ... (i was inside my house for about 30-40 mins) any help would be MUCH appreciated! thanx o yea i also bought a voltage tester to see what fuses were on n off when the car was on n off ... it only cost about 6 bucks from radio shack so i didn't feel like it was a big purchase but something very handy .... please help guys thanx
