 on switch wand: off, park, head, auto. Set so, they come on by themselves

 opposite order. Goes off when you turn the key off (or inthe 1984-1988
 Skyline's case, when key turned off and driver's door opened). Runs through
 a dashtop sensor.......Works a
 treat... never flatten your battery again...  >>

I like the low tech approach. Click the switch when I need it. Click it off
when I don't. I use my eyes to sense if I need the lights or not.
