Rob95CS Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 I want to rig this up in my Cutlass. I ALWAYS drive with my headlights on, so why not have them turn on when the car is started or turned to acc? How would I accomplish this? I did a search, but no results.

Redfox340 Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 You'd have to link the wiring to the ignition switch. With the turn of the key you would have lights. As to how this culd be done, well... you *could* hot-wire to the ignition switch and leave your light swtich on at all times. - Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slade901 Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Like what Redfox said, it can be accomplished. What I'm concerned about is that it takes additional load from the battery while trying to start it. Additional load from the battery is not good during the cold winter time.

Rob95CS Posted November 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 I have a battery booster pack (one man jump starter) so I'm not concerned. Plus my car turns right over, no probs. I'll see what I can do. I might be able to put a toggle switch inline for it if I ever need to disable it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my Z34 and my old lumina and the new gm's I have drivin it kills the headlights till the brake is released ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
