You have auto lights yeah? So when its dark, they come on?

Or is this some sort of wind up??

 

[Alastair.]

lol was ur engine still running or had u shut down??

 

[Stava]

engine still running, why would that make a difference, i dont have auto lights?

euro expert, cheers for the helpfull comment, any chance of you expanding on it a little please?

 

[Bluebeard]

Why don't you have auto lights???

They all came with Auto lights iirc. :S

 

[Stava]

no idea

 

[Bluebeard]

Is there a sensor box built in to your rear view mirror?

 

[VeinAST]

Turn the key in the ignition without turning the engine on and flick it to the sidelights on and off twice, if you hear a bleep or something you should've turned it off.

 

[Stava]

no, it doesnt have auto lights.

 

[Kerryclio]

It must have autolights mine does but you cant turn that system on and off so you might have turned auto lights on again by accident

 

[Alastair.]

it does, all sports do im sure apart from 172cups, auto lights cant be turned off when they come on unless u disable the function or turn your motor off

 

[Stava]

why MUST it have auto lights?! i have had the car a year and its never done this before, and yes i have driven it in the dark before!

 

[sean_d]

It MUST have because they all do, obvisouly thats not the problem though

 

[Kerryclio]

My poverty spec 1.2 does i didnt realise it did as the fuction was turned off untill someone showed me how to turn it on maybe by turning your lights on you somehow turned them back on again but it does usually bleep! did your lights turn off when you turned your engine off?

Maybe it has autolights but they've been turned off like the way VeinAST said and they've somehow been reactivated? Try Vein's method!

 

[Alastair.]

well just take ur headlights out and use candles instead

 

[Kerryclio]

I believe its twisting the light switch twice and it should bleep to turn it on or off!

 

[Stava]

well just take ur headlights out and use candles instead

cheers for that pal, remind me to ask you for advice again.

just had a piss about as what vein said, worked a treat, had no idea it had auto lights, never new how to turn it on or off, must have done it by accident, god knows how.

cheers for your help guys

Thinking about it since I fitted my sun strip lights been on all the time (whilst engine on), thankfully this has saved me a headache and other drivers i'm following around a track :up:
