Turns the lights on and off in the garage when I start it, and going under bridges and through tunnels. Even if it's sunny out and the garage is open, when I start the car the lights go on, and turn themselves off in about 45 seconds.

The issue is the Corvette has retractable lights operated by expensive servo motors. I don't want to cycle them needlessly several times a day and have to replace them.

I graduated Rutgers, Yale, and Stanford. I'm smart enough to turn my lights on and off by myself. 8)

Ahh I see, thanks for answering me That isn't mandatory here, only automatic daytime running lights, the headlights is an optional thing on some vehicles.

YA it must be a rule, My DR has no off switch just High/Low. People still don't see me though. Maybe they could make a device like a Deer whistle for bikes, Makes a noise that is only for dumbazzes who should not be operating a motor vehicle. They do hear at a differant frequency right? :wink:

That little light is a parking light (on my Roketa anyways). My switch has a park position for roadside emergencies. You can have that little light lit and the power off to the rest of the bike. BTW my Roketa also has a 3 position headlight switch from the factory: high, low and OFF.

Hi, Red; it is good to see you again! Alan owns a Zong, and his headlight is always powered when the ignition switch in turned on. Also, the Zong doesn't have a "park" position on the ignition switch. I like the light arrangement on your Roketa!
