Girlfriend forgets to turn lights off, need help

My girlfriend has forgot to turn the lights off on the car 2 times this week and keeps killin the car. How can I have the lights turn off auto if she leaves then on again. I have It hooked up so It would beep but that just stoped working after my alarm was installed. Thanks Terry

Either hook up the alarm correctly or go to parts store and buy an aftermarket buzzer.

Install a headlight buzzer : http://fourthgenhatch.com/headlightbuzzer.html
I suggest using a connector meant to plug into the fuse socket instead of jamming the wire & fuse in, which may make the fuse loose some day.

Thanks, I bet the fuse just came loose I will need to take a look. If not, is they some thing I can install that will turn them off 4 me? Like on the Bmw cars.

You know what, I'm sure there is some kind of aftermarket timer for turning lights off. Where you get it, I have no idea.

Get a new girlfriend.

Just kidding.

There's probably a good way to rig up a buzzer so that if the ignition is turned off and the lights are still on, it'll beep or buzz to warn of the situation...

Actually, I think I've seen a how-to on it before...

Yep, here it is:

Re: Girlfriend forgets to turn lights off, need help

Buzzers came as standard in non-US 4th gens so hooking one up might be an answer.

I am thinking of making a relay for mine, I don't like buzzers. Basically it would require the ignition to be on for the headlights to be on....

Ignition goes in to the relay switch terminal, cut the headlight switch wire, one end goes in the switched terminal and the other end connects to the normally off switched ouput. Ground the relay and walla. headlights stay off unless the car is on.
