"lights on" alarm?

Did the GQs ever have an alarm/buzzer to say 'your lighs are still on', when you leave the vehicle?

Nope. Wish it did though. There are aftermarket kits you can get though.

I have been stung by this once before, its hell annoying. As Kristoffa said aftermarket is the go here, or just be mindful when exiting your car.

The keys in the ignition one would be handy also, I have done that 3 times also. (Not very mindful - I have become really good at opening the car door with a coathanger however)

I hate beeping buzzing alarms! In my local town you just leave the keys in the car anyway so the beeping annoys me. But good for the lights I suppose.

Tap, crackle, pop

I've never had a problem with the keys, but have been stung leaving the headlights on.

yeah - keys has never been a worry ... although I do sometimes forget I need to put them in the ignition, as our other car has keyless entry/ignition!

The lights warning would be good, but not a big enough problem to worry about aftermarket stuff.

Thanks all :)

done the same myself ..... numerous times, now its an automatic look as I walk away

Hook up a relay to only activate the headlights when the accessories are on, no annoying sounds and turns off your headlights when you turn your car off, never have to worry about a flat battery again. Any auto elec. can do it and should take less than 15mins to install ;)

That means you couldn't have park lights on or flash or high beam unless accessories was on.


I've left lights on a couple times but have a heavy duty battery so never an issue. More of an embarrassing feeling when you walk back to the car and think ahh crap. For the sake of a $5 buzzer I'll get and install one one day.

built a Jaycar headlight kit a couple of years ago and installed same. Easy enough that it all worked first time.

Key problem - I carry a spare in my wallet. Had to use it a couple of times. :-)
