are there many of you out there who actually use the auto-off feature on our headlights? i know its there as an option, but do any of you know if it will hurt my HIDs if i leave them on and let them turn off automatically by using the auto-off feature? i know turning HIDs on and off reduces the lifetime of the bulbs/ballast, but does what i do hurt it more? any info will be appreciated.. thanks

 

i always forget to turn um off auto off is nice use it all the time

 

i use mine all the time, i never shut mine off unless its during the day, other then that i always keep my lights on so that when i get back in the car i dont need to flip em on

 

i don't see how it would hurt the HID's...it's just like you shutting them off yourself

 

I'm sure this makes me sound ignorant, but how do you use the auto-off feature?

 

just turn off your engine with the lights on and open your door.. you'll hear the 'warning sound' for your lights for about 2 seconds, then it'll just turn off automatically

 

you should be alright, all high end cars have the auto off feature.....my moms lexus does.....im assuming it doesnt hurt the HID otherwise they wouldnt have it.

 

true.. you have a good point there

 

Auto off is sweet just like everyone else I use mine all the time also.

 

yea i just started using mine recently ever since i got my HIDs.. its pretty cool coz i have a remote start and when i start my car at night, my HIDs come on all of a sudden and people in the parking lot at a mall or wherever i am are always lookin around to see who started the car and how..

 

hahaha... I use my remote start the same way. I always have used the auto-off feature since the day I bought my car. I love it, and I have 7000K bulbs so they shine a pretty bright white/blue light, so they really light up where ever it is I am!

 

lol yea the auto off head lights is a great feature, no more dead batteries

 

hahaha .. show off phil.. .. dont worry i do that too even if i'm only 2 feet away... hahaha

 

the car uses it all the time , lol.

i never turn them off at night, and i never have to worry either, so its all good, great feature.

the only time i turn them off manually is if its bright out and there still on frmo the night before.

 

hahahaha.. $400 is alot for lights.. might as well show them off for the money u put into it..
