How to make the lights stay on after you turn the car off?

ChadE · 12-06-2007, 04:43 PM

Like the title says...is there a way to make the lights stay on after you turn the car off for a few mins. Besides flipping the high beam after the cars off each time.

Oh im not questioning you at all...i completely believe you haha i was just saying i didnt realize he was there. How long have you been flying?

Are you trying to keep them on for a significant period of time (trying to find something in the dark... pickup basketball?) or are you just trying to have them on for 10 seconds. If 10 seconds is what you want, I just press the lock button twice. Press it the first time, the doors lock.. press it the second time, the lights come on.

And to ChadE, as a lifetime Tar Heel, I must say that your sig makes me want to vomit.

E92_335 · 12-06-2007, 10:11 PM

no thats not true.. that doesn't work! i tried it... i'll go try the high beams later and let you know how that goes...

Hahaha, works for me. I can do it out of my window. Maybe it IS somehow involved with idrive settings.

Haha...thats a whole nother thread in its self...this thread is already OT enough lets not get the Duke-Carolina debate going lets wait till march for that one

Back on topic the lock button thing dont work for me just turns on the interior lights...looking for the pathway lighting type thing. Like when you cut the car off the headlights just stay on like on GMs, or Infinitis and what not.
