Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Auto Headlights

Auto headlights will go off with the e brake, I believe it has to be set before the ignition gets turned on. So to turn them off, you have to shut it off, push the e brake, and start it back up. Might as well have just left it off at that point, kind of a waste. Also it's important for me to have manual control because I have hid's, and starting my car at night turns them on, cranking turns them off, and when it starts, back on. I am not going to use the e brake every time I start my car at night lol.

I'm actually working on something to prevent this. I'll have something in a few days that will delay the headlights from turning on for a second or 2.
 
The relay harness should have this built in already. They start up instantly, turning the key as fast as I can, and often they still blink
 
Will do, waiting for a callback from my dad to see if he has any. That PSU I strip parts from only has 2200uF. There's 4 so I'd get close, but we'll see. I'd be surprised if he didn't have any.

You only hear the buzzing when its night. So if you pull it in the day and it seems you're all good, once it gets dark, bzzzzzzzzz lol.

Mine buzzed with the key on, in the day, e-brake on.

I think it might disable light flash when lock/unlocking but im not sure

Unplugging will do what you said. I just disabled the yellow wire, which disables just the headlight. Looks like you may have disabled "flash to pass".
 
I can always mess with the harness and remove the auto headlight pins, and plug it back in.
Why did anyone ever mess with resistors? Lol
 


Oem as in from trs? Mine are now apparently a version old, but they come up to brightness pretty quick and have never failed me yet. They also hot restrike instantly.

Sub'd. I have a timer delay relay for the fogs that I have to install.

No doubt. I know backnblack was into electronics, so he must look at problems differently. He has done lots of cool things.

Flash to pass still works, although i never use it. I usually flash my fog lights.

Good to know. Retros make for a bright flash to pass. :th_biggrin2:

That sucks. I e-mailed him a few weeks ago with a question, but got no reply. Now his domain is for sale. Guess he moved on.

From what I remember..... you unplug the light sensor on the dash and put a resistor in it to fool the sensor to think it was daylight all the time.
 
Remove the auto headlights fuse in the passenger glove box, and unplug the writing harness going to the bcm for the headlights.
