One annoying thing about the patrol is when you turn off the ignition but your lights stay on. I guess our last few cars had this feature of lights going off when ignition is off and just got use to it.
Then that annoying sound when you have left your light on after you turn the car off, but the problem I have is the turbo timer has the engine still running after I turn the ignition off, therefore have left my lights on without realising.
Question is can this be fixed so the headlights turn off when you turn the car off ?

Mine is the same , turbo timer fitted . caught me out once leaving the lights on . not sure if there is a mod for this . Have got in the habbit of standing at the front or rear of the vehicle and remote locking it and visually checking the lights are off before I walk too far away . Worse case scenario I see you have got dual batts fitted , carry jumper leads and jump yourself - always an option .

You could always fit one of these.

Or run a relay with accessory power switching so as soon as you turn the ignition off completely they turn off.
