My 2003.5 sedan doesn't have the auto on/off headlights but I know if I leave the headlights on they will turn off automatically some time after the car is off and then turn on again once I start the car. Does anyone know how long this usually takes?

not too hard to figure out lol turn of your car, look at your clock and wait for the lights to shut off VOILA!. Is about 3 minutes

could be 5.. I think that is the only option other than just instantly off..

somewhere around 5 min, maybe a little less. I never timed it I just know it doesn't go over 5 min.

always seemed about 5 minutes to me...

Odd, it's more like 60 seconds for me.

One min exactly for me...give or take a few seconds cause I got bored waiting for the dark to take me...but I digress...about a min

5 minutes when left "on" and 1 minute when on "auto"

OP is regarding the "non-auto" lights...

It seems non-auto is 5 minutes...

Are the guys that are posting 1 minute "auto headlights"?

It's in the owners manual.

With the light selector in AUTO (if equipped) - 45 seconds


If you leave the parking lights or the headlights on in either the AUTO and NON-AUTO cars, they shut in 5 minutes

Thanks for the information guys.

I get an annoying chime if I leave the lights on non-auto.

i never knew they did turn off on their own after 5 min ..

ive got a non-auto..

i always turn em on/off myself ..

Sometimes I leave em on on purpose and admire my hids from afar haha or when I run to the store real quick

^^^ occasionally I leave on - on purpose to help illuminate garage
