Headlights turn on automatically

[51OAU]

Hey, when i turn my car on, my headlights turn on automatically. Does anybody know how i can get rid of this??? because im sick of my good $100 headlights blowing every 6 monthes. Thanks

My car is the same. Your car must be an ex-telstra fleet car. They call it daylight running, when the headlights are always on. It's a safety thing. Might work as no one has run into me in 4 years.

Tried to get Ford to turn it off. They said it's a big job any you're better off going to auto elec. I normally change headlights every 6 months.

I get sick of people pointing to my car during the day and shouting "Your lights are on".

It's hard wired in ... would be cheaper to get an auto-elec to remove it.
It is a Ford option to have it though.

I do agree though about having them on for safety ... I drive with them on during the day as well and find it has helped.

It is remove-able, it is a ford adapter connected somewhere to the headlights. It looks like this:

I had the same issue, ie ex telstra car, blew one of my globes, took it in for a service, asked if they could disconnect it and they said yes. Picked the car up, lights off and did not cost me a cent.
Therefore I guess have a look around, surely some one can disconnect it for you and not charge an arm and a leg.

People should drive with their lights on in the day time anyway, if your globes blow after 6 months take em back i did in my old AU XR and they replaced them 3 times btw yes i did drive with my lights on al the time with those globes and i still do in my new car but the globes are just crappy ones

thanks mate but im in Brisbane.

Or check under the blue oval badge to see if it really says "Volvo".

Seriously tho, I always run with, at least, the parking lights on, even in bright sunshine. Every bit of safety has to help - cross fingers.

fcking faggoty blue bulbs. they are for idiots. normal bulbs for the win.

Why do you need blue bulbs? Aren't the AU headlights (brightest headlights on the road) bright enough for you? Why do you think it is necessary to annoy all your other fellow road users with the stupid blue bulbs?

yeah i think i would have to agree. If he wants to run blue globes he can run blue globes. This thread isnt about your personal feelings on blue globes so we dont want to here it.
