im chasing a simple module that will turn off my headlights automatically when the car turns off, having a turbo timer i have a tendency to forget to turn off my lights during the day after country travel. anyone know of a good product?
I was thinking the esact same thing as I put my turbo timer in last weekend.
I was just gonna but a relay from super cheap. Cut the headlight power cable after the switch and use an accessory power supply to power the relay. That way once the accessory circuit is turned of the head lights will turn off.
Only down side is you won't be able to turn the head lights on without the key turned to accessory.
Beats a flat battery tho.
Other wise I know there is a modular you can buy that turns the head light on when the car is started and turns them of when you turn the car of. But then you can't turn them of when the car is on
Here's a link to a simple time delay circuit which i suppose could be switched by your turbo timer itself (maybe) http://www.hobby-circuits.com/circui...cuit-schematic........ There's also ones which use Time Delay relays so that you can actually adjust the "off" delay but I havent had a proper look for one yet.
i dont suppose you know anyone from perth that is competent at NADS instillation? ive got all the gear on order from ebay coming in over the next few days and was hoping to get it all sorted once my turbo issue has been sussed out.
You could wire the headlight relay to turn the lights on with ignition, so if the car is running the lights are on ,as soon as you turn the engine off the lights go off.

im not real keen in wiring it up like that 04off, just in case of emergency, or fishing on the beach and just want my headlights on and not the entire car.
