Headlight courtesy chime
I noticed that with all my other cars, if the headlights are left on with the key out of the ignition, a buzzer is set off to remind the driver to turn off the lights. This, however; does not hold true for my GS430. Is this normal? Or is that the job of the little "green bulb" light on the dash?

I'm surprised to hear the GS does not have a polite audible reminder that you left your lights on. My Acura has a nice chime but the BMW has the most annoying buzzer you can imagine! I think I'd rather have nothing at all than that thing!

GS300, your right my 470 turns off the lights automatically even if you have turned on the parking lights, even my 1993 GS did that, so I'd imagine all Lexus' do that...

Why not use the C-Best setting on the GS?
I have my GS430 programmed to turn off the light automatically when the engine is off, with ignition key out and driver door opens.
I never had to turn off or on my headlight manually.

Chu,
I have my car setup the same way, I love it. I never once bother with the headlight switch Car goes on, headlights come on, car off, lights off as soon as I open my door. Love that C-Best setting

C-Best feature are only found on GS300/400/430 from 98 and up. The first generation GS does not have this feature. Other Lexus models included are SC430, LS430, IS300 and I believe the new 2002 ES300.
