Auto headlights?
Can you get stalks that include auto headlights in this style stalk?
If so has anyone got 1 for sale?

Auto lights is a multiplexed feature so the non mux stalk in the pic won't be able to do it, I'm afraid.

Re: Auto headlights?
To be fair, the auto-lights can play up a bit. On my old 406 they were dangerous as the auto-light button was worn, so would randomly turn off the headlights even when disabled....
It is a nice feature when it works, but I could live without it if it went wrong - I just turn the lights on myself, old skool style...

Re: Auto headlights?
Me too - had these in the 406 and now the 407... very convenient. Hate the auto wipers though, horrible.

Re: Auto headlights?
Hmmm - if only there were some lights in the car, say near the dashboard somewhere, that would make it obvious you had no lights on when it was dark outside.....gumby6371 wrote:I'm so used to auto lights now I get flashed in the 307 for not turning them on
My GLX lights work fine - they just don't like going off again

Re: Auto headlights?
I never use them. I prefer to be able to swap to sidelights if reversing, or stopping for a moment.
Idiots who leave them on when parked wind me up as much as the foglight brigade.
Switch them off with a hammer, I say.

Re: Auto headlights?
You can still turn to sidelights only even if it's on auto... I think

Correct, I use the sidelights to turn off the headlights if I've parked up, or reversing into my drive.Captain Jack wrote:You can still turn to sidelights only even if it's on auto... I think

Re: Auto headlights?
I like them, going to a car without feels like I've lost my left nut or something. My old mitsubishi diamante used to have auto headlights and a blacked out dash which was always lit with the car running, I got told off a couple of times by the old bill whilst driving in a lit urban area with no lights, due to fat fingers accidentally switching the auto function off

Re: Auto headlights?
I think they are quite handy when driving through a tunnel, into a shed they turn on, and they turn on in the rain if the wipers sense enough rain, the auto wipers are a bit hit and miss, they dont work great for a light drizzle it needs to be pishing out of the sky before they decide its time to turn on the wipers.
As for the auto lights, getting into the 305 i have been caught out a few times, i have drove it with the lights on, parked it up, get out and forget to turn off the lights which has caused a few non start moments, there is no audible warning that the lights have been left on.
