I've never left the car with the head lights on but I've come close.

Do the head lights stay on until your batteries are dead or do they shut off after a certain amount of time?

 

Humm someones going to have to read the book or try it and then get a boost and cook something maybe, good question heck if the car's got a pc and are pesonal pc can do it why not ? Myth Busters can you try this for us please ?

 

Yes, after appx 30 minutes it will shut off the lights, in an attempt to save the battery.

 

Can somebody verify the claim stated above?

Just dont ask me for a jump

 

I have a Radar installed. I tapped into the interior lights and after 30 minutes, it goes off. I have tried it with the headlights and they too go off after 30 minutes.

 

Yes, after a length of time the headlights are cut off to save the battery. Im not sure its a set 30 minutes though cause Im pretty sure I've timed one instance of turning off roughly after 10. It could be set to turn off at a certain voltage but I could be wrong.

I have the tools to test the theory but it really isnt much use to go through with it, its pretty tivial.

Check the owners manual - I think its set at about 10 mintues to shut off - battery saver I think it is called.

 

I guess I should R.T.F.M.

 

that why some of us have wives they know it all, I had to get mine to uhmm encourage me to get her pc hooked up and all,I like plug and play ( simpicity but she said read the book :bang:

 

it works i have left mine on a few times

 

I also have a 1990 CRX-Si which doesn't even have a chime to warn you that you left your lights on. After a couple of times of pushing the car down the street to start it you remember to turn off the headlights.
