I agree, and would take it one step further: New Jersey is just one of many states that has a "wipers on - lights on" law that requires the driver to turn on the headlights when the wipers are operating. It would be nice if there was a dealer settable option for those states that would automatically turn on the headlights whenever the wipers are on.

 

California has the same law, and I agree, it would be nice to be able to interlink them (as an option) but I'd still have to turn on my lights because I usually depend on Rain-X unless the rain is so light that the water won't bead off.

 

Hmmmm, I sense another mod!!!

 

I don't have HIDs, but i usually keep my lights on all the time on the manual setting, cause the drl's look disgusting.

 

Go to the dealer and have them turn off your DRLs...

 

This one will be a little tougher. The light and wiper controls are not as simple as the washer.

 

hehe, no doubt... And I as I don't want to link the two systems, I don't have any real interest in figuring it out Maybe someone else will want to take this one???

 

I thought about it, but I would still prolly keep my lights on all the time. I like the look of them with the fogs on, plus im too lazy to turn em on and off.

 

Especially since you wouldn't want the lights to come on when you are washing the windshield on a sunny day, or when the wipers take a quick swipe because you drove past a poorly aimed lawn sprinkler. You'd need some kind of logic that would delay lighting the headlamps until the wipers had been running for about 10-15 seconds.

 

I guess ill just leave it on auto. It pissed me off because I barely have new fog lights and the passenger side burnt out already. So I figured it might be the auto on that caused it. . .

 

What kind of bulbs do you have? I had a set of Silverstars in my old Integra and one of them lasted maybe a year before it burnt out. Supposedly these kind of bulbs burn a lot hotter than regular bulbs hence the shorter life span.

As for me, I usually leave my headlights on auto. There's only one tunnel in this area (which I never pass thru) and I usually don't go places that have a parking garage so the lights turning on and off isn't really an issue.

 

Dont remember what kind of fog bulbs I had, but I bought some HALOs and replaced them both. I like it better because its more yellower. . .
