headlights auto off
i would like my headlights to shut off automatically after i turn my car off..
my car is a 99 civic hx. when i turn the car off the lights stay on
my other car is a 99 accord ex v6 (mom and baby's ride) if the lights are on when the car is shut off the light will stay on for a minute then shut off automatically.
how can i set-up my civic to do the same and has anyone done this?
thanks

I don't have the wiring diagrams, so I'm guessing here...
There is most likely a relay that is energized when the light switch on the stalk is turned to 'on'. When the ignition switch is turned off, a timer circuit will de-energize the relay after a set amount of time. You would have to locate an OEM or aftermarket timer circuit, relay(s), and cut into the lighting control wires to install the system. Keep in mind you've got parking lights, headlights, and dash lights to control.
BTW, all headlights are 'auto-off' if you leave them on long enough.
