E34: headlight auto off?

[rickm]

I think he meant he turns the car off with the headlights on, the headlights themselve shut down, but the running lights stay on. What he wants is the running lights to go off also.

Bingo! I'll putz around with the wiring, maybe the relays are behind this.

would not be happy.

You may need to start from the dash swtich and look at the wiring there first

Also, just make it interesting Rick...

Set it up in such a way that if at anystage you need to use the 'corner marker' feature, you can still do it.

Know what I mean?? Corner Marker feature is where you push the indicator stalk further than it needs to go to work the flashers, and it switches on the corresponding side 'running lights', most Euro cars have this feature, and I've been known to use it in the past, as some of the streets down here are pretty narrow...

I'd like the auto-off-headlights to include the "park" or "running" or "city" lights auto off too, however I'd prefer not to lose the 'corner marker' feature as a sacrifice...
