Lit dash causes me to sometimes forget to turn on the headlights
Last night for the 3rd or 4th time since I got the car, I forgot to turn on my headlights, as I am used to a dark dash at night that lights up when the headlights are turned on. So if I am not thinking and see the dash lit at night I subconsiously assume the headlights are on. I gotta think that I am not alone among new 05 G owners in making this potentially dangerous error.

I have the same problem at times. I don't leave mine on auto usually, because I don't want them on for a few moment if I am in heavy shade since the manual says the life of the xenons is related to the number of on-off cycles. I have no idea how long they will last or their replacement costs, though. In my I30 with conventional lights, I left them on auto.
No easy answer, I guess.
