There are times that I want to use >the car headlights to illuminate something without having the engine running. The circuit in my '85 Toy Supra isn't too complex. It shuts down all of the outside lights after the ignition has been turned off AND the driver's door has been opened. Turning the lights back on requires turning them off and back on again. This setup has never bothered me. The worst that I've had to do is open and shut the door when I'm going to sit inside and wait for someone - it's just too easy not to screw around with turning the lights on/off. One addition I'd like is that the solar sensor (for the auto A/C) be connected to the headlights. I've seen some other cars that have this option. --kyler
