New favorite mod!
Auto headlights!!!!! My favorite mod yet, wiring isn't too bad just 2 relays and then wiring the mirror. Its pretty easy if you've already done the OHC. I'll take a video of it later. Highly recommend this mod, just for the cool factor. Link to how-to:

I have had my auto dim/auto headlight mirror sitting under my bed for about a year along with my OHC and power window and lock kit.

I have been wanting to do this mod.
So is this like day time running lights with the auto headlights? Auto dimming mirror would do me no good since I have 55 tint in the rear |
Lights turn on when they see fit. I hate it on GM cars...can't turn the lights off at all in the night.

There is a slider switch in the mirror and you adjust for the light level you want them to turn on at. You can bypass the switch my turning it to the lowest setting(full left I think. some models have a separate on off switch). The lights don't come on at all during the day. |

Why would the rear tint affect the sensor that looks out the front windshield? :laughing:

My moms 06 taurus had one and it would block out the lights behind you. |

Isn't the auto dimming mirror for jack holes behind you with bright lights on?

I have auto headlights. It's called turning them on every time I get in my truck.

I wish more people would realize the safety benefits of Being able to see and BE seen.

I always turn the lights on the same time I am turning the truck on. Sometimes I do it and don't even realize I did it. Just a habit |

Sorry for the questions
So say it is 5pm getting kinda dark. You have this switch in the middle. Your lights pop on without you doing anything? When you stop and get out of the truck and turn it off they go out automatically or wait for awhile? |
if its anything like my grand prix, they turn on when its dark enough, and turn off when you turn the vehicle off.
lol, it was funny, everytime i would drive into the garage with the grand prix, the lights would pop on and autodimming mirrors ftw have it in my grand prix, and its so nice when you're in a vehicle that sits that low to the ground |
can i do this on my 94 if i have the auto dim mirror
|
How fast does the auto dim work? Is it like transition lenses on glasses that take forever to adjust to the light and then lighten back up again?
|
WARNING!
Auto on/off headlights are NOT good for HID. I've had to disable that feature on a few cares I've done HID for (not mine) |
wouldn't oncoming traffic shut them off?
What if i'm tailgating someone with bright taillights? what if the moon is bright enough out that they don't come on? does the fridge light go off when i shut the door? how do midgets get into the top bunk of a bunk bed? lol...sry lots of questions in this thread |
