when i left my headlight on and turn off the car, i don't hear any warning beep sound reminding me the light is still on.

i wont be able to get home in another 9hrs. what will happen? will i be able to start my car later? will the battery be dead?

please help. thanks

my friend told me the light will shutdown automatically in 1hr...can anyone confirm this?

I have entered the car and noticed that my light switch was set to ON, but my lights were not on. So I believe they shut themselves off after some defined time. Not sure if that's 15 min, one hour, etc.

I can try it right now if you want....

The lights go out when you open the driver's door automatically. Every Toyota I have owned since 1988 has done this. The integration relay provides this service. It just takes 30 seconds for the lights to turn off in the IS.

i park my car at a commuter lot and wont be able to get to it 'til 9hours later..and i took public transportation to work.

i dont have anyway of getting home unless i take a taxi

freddymoo

it would be nice, but i certainly dont want to drain your battery

i called up lexus roadside assistance..they didn't know

i called up local lexus dealer service tech, he didnt know...they all clueless

Just tried it. They turn off after 30 seconds (didn't actually time it, but it was less than a minute).

freddymoo

and was yours on the ON or AUTO mode? just wondering.

Freddymoo, Your Headlights will automaticly turn off within 15-30 seconds.. I always leave my headlights on.. I lock the door, and walk away.. It could be on AUTO, or Manualy set to Lowbeam, etc.. They'll shut off within 15-30 seconds.. I didnt time it but should be way less then 1 minute..

Try it, you'll see..

Funny you say that you call'd roadside assitance and the dealer and they couldnt help you with this... I think this is ridiculous.

They were set to ON. Auto works the same.

I'm in Ashburn...
