Sometimes I need to turn the headlights on despite sunny weather (in highway safety zone, for example), but if I do, the car warns me to turn them off when I'm ready to leave the car (as with most cars). It doesn't just shut them off.
I would like set a mode such that the lights will go off automatically when I leave the car (like walkaway autolock).
Here's my general question: Why do most cars leave the headlights on when you switch off the car? It's been like that since the fifties, and it has resulted in millions dead batteries and many man-hours of inconvenience.
Is there any reason why headlights can be on when the key is removed?
