R34 Auto Headlight Switch?

[Charles89]

I just saw a picture of a R34 headlight/indicator stalk that has an Auto setting for headlights?

Anyone know what that does? Or have one on their car?

[34GeeTeeTee]

Nope, but wouldnt mind one on my car

[Charles89]

Me too, but I just want to make sure what it does and that it can be plug and play before I buy one haha

[darksky34]

if it isn't expensive buy it and let us know what it does! don't quite understand what auto would be...it would somehow need to be hooked up to a sensor or something to be 'auto' wouldn't it?

[Charles89]

Haha, maybe I'll buy it

I might have a rough idea of what it does. I know there's a light sensor on our R34 dash, on the demister panel on the passenger side. And maybe this auto switch can do what new cars can do nowadays, flick it on auto and your headlights will come on when the sensor thinks there's not enough light? lol

Not sure if I'll need extra bits for it, because I know that if the car didn't come with certain factory option, it will still have the plugs for it, but just hidden away.

Do the research, i reckon it would be more than just a plug and play application! IF it was it would be an epic find but i havent seen any R34 GTT's with them yet....

[Charles89]

Not sure how to "research" lol, of the 4 years ownership of the R34, I've never seen that auto option before lol. And when I google R34 headlight auto switch, it's showing me results of actual headlights lol

[xALmoN]

haomut?

if cheap i'll go half and half with you in the name of research.

[jay-rod]

Hahhaha ill tell you what the auto does

Exactly the same thing the Subarus do when on Auto.

Leave the Lights on Auto, Turn off the car and the lights turn off
Turn on the car and the Lights turn on

Ive been looking for one for my 34 for cheap, but all i find is over 100

That would still suit me! I forget them occasionally as i am mildly retarded

[Charles89]

Don't know if that will even suit me lol

Since it's probably no good to me, here's a link for you guys

3 stalks available

Pretty keen to know aswell one of my friends had a r34sedan? And has te auto headlights, so would turn on in the garage upon start up, was going to swap mine over but she sold to fast

[darksky34]

group buy? let's ask for free shipping if we buy all 3.....? ahhahahha

that sounds awesome, same with mat i often get out of the car and lock it and realise i have headlights still on....

[Charles89]

Don't you guys have that beeping feature or did previous owners disable it?...

Coz I know if I leave my headlights or fog lights on, and take key out, the car will beep at me lol

[jay-rod]

Not when you use your 10 second turbo timer

[fusion07]

Certain sedans had them standard, just like the JZX100 sedans (so similar)

now that you mention it, i can't seem to remember a beeping with lights on + keys out. I know if i have door open + keys in, car will beep.

[Charles89]

It should be the same beep... I'll double check later haha

[Trex]

The auto lights will turn on when it starts getting dark.

Some stageas have them, as far as i know it was an option.

^ That's what I'd want.. Instead of turning your lights off for you lol..

Can anyone else confirm that it turns lights on when it gets dark?
