I think the Subaru system is the most sensible.

The lights are switched throiugh the ignition so there is no way you can leave them on.

If for any reason you did want to drain you battery for a few hours, there is a seperate switch to turn the sidelights only on with the ignition off..

Yeah thats the other way I had though of doing it... so wire the dipped and main beams throught the ignition. and the sidelights through a separate switch?

next time your in a scrapyard, borrow a warning buzzer from a renault, (anyone car will do, but renaults hide them under the dash, passeger side.) tap into the sidelight feed, wire to buzzer, (theres about three pins iirc, just guess it, you cant damage it!!!) then another wire to the door switch. takes about ten minutes!

And on the 7th day........... God created turbochargers!

Oh well, if you are Nic you'd probably like that, means no ladies can escape at night without you knowing!

Instead of a lights on buzzer, it could be a "passenger escaping in the dark" alert......
