Re: Re: Automatic headlights
Yes, HT, you are correct. It's when I open the door that the parking
lights finally turn off, not when the keys are removed.

Don, this is with the switch on the "On" position. With the switch in
"Auto" the lights turn off as soon as the key is turned out of the "On"
position.

I was referring to when the lamps switch was in the "on" position.
When in the "auto" position, they should go out when the car is
turned off.
Your situation has me questioning my knowledge now. I’ll need to try
it on an appropriate Sonata when I get the chance. I wonder if it
only applies to cars which don’t have automatic lamps.
Shaman: not all cars have automatic headlamps. I don’t know what
features were standard and optional on the LX, but I’m guessing auto
headlamps was one of the options.

I have to do some more testing. I thought that was the proper scenario.
The other day, I had the lights in the "on" position and left the car and
the parking lights stayed on. Today, they did not. Maybe I did something
different that day so I'll check again. I like the idea that the lights
would go off rather than kill the battery. If they go off, there is no
reason to have a warning buzzer, or course. I'd try a few things today, but
it is too damned cold out there.

I don't have an Auto position and this functionality happens when my switch
is in the On position. (2005 Tiburon GT)

Quite right Eric. I forgot about that. It is just that I open the door
seconds after withdrawing the key.

My experience has been that it doesn't matter if the car has the "auto"
option or not. My car has it and my neighbors does not, and both function
the same using the "on" position.

Re: Re: Re: Automatic headlights
I had one of these in the shop today and tried it. The lamps did
indeed turn off when the key was removed and the door opened. It
doesn’t matter which order these things occur, but both must happen in
order for the lamps to go out.
If the parking lamps are turned from off to on after those things have
occurred, the lamps will then come on and stay on until turned off or
the key is inserted in the ignition and removed again (and door
opened, if not already)
