Make my 92 XL have the headlights turn off with the ignition switch? I was going to add a relay in line with the power to the headlight switch, and run it fron the ignition switch. Seem reasonable?

JCW sells a Lights-On Alarm for $7.99 - might be easier/cheaper than doing the relay. Just a thought................

No, it lets you know they're on when you turn off the ignition, so you can turn them off manually. Thought maybe it would be easier/cheaper to install than a relay. With this, you can turn your lights on to check them, without having the ignition on. Just a suggestion....................
