i was on here the other day searching and found a link for a website where this guy showed how to wire up a pieza(sp?) alarm buzzer for the headlights when you leave them on(cuz i do this all the time). or does anyone have any instructions on how to do this?

 

I've seen a thing on ebay that you wire in as a headlight buzzer, but it prob doesn't work well. I know what you're talking about, I forget about my headlights being on a lot.

 

duh duh and what should i search for, just cuz i'm a noob doesn't mean i am stupid, i tried just the word headlight and it only came up with 3 topics, so why don't you just help me out instead of saying "search", post snob

 

btw i found it,

if you really wanted something nice, you could wire up a relay to kill the power to the headlights when you turn the ignition off.

if you want something ghetto-esk, go the buzzer route.

 

How lazy are people? This is why we get such crappy cars in the U.S.

 

how would i do this?

 

off the top of my head, i would say...
- wire the ignition switch to the +12v terminal of the relay
- ground the ground terminal of the relay
- cut the headlight switch power wire. connect one side of the cut wire to one terminal on the relay and connect the other side of the cut wire to the other terminal on the relay.

i think that would do it...

 

Here is another site explaining how to hook it up.

Wal*Mart sells a "headlights on, ignition off" buzzer for any car, with instructions for like $6. Look in the automotive section, it's a little beige colored buzzer withconnectors to connect it via your fuse panel.

But, killing your battery more than once should teach you.
