Headlamp off time delay - yeah!

The time delay for auto headlamps may not seem like a big deal. Sometimes it is a bother. Almost every night I have someone come in to my restaurant to tell me that someone left their lights on. Most of the time when I find the owner, they tell me they will go off shortly by themselves. People get use do the lights shutting off by themselves and don't really think about it. A lot of people don't even realize they have the option. So the time delay may not seem like a feature that is that great.

However, I really like that feature on my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I work the night shift. I get home somewhere between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. depending on the day of the week. When it is cloudy, or the moon is in the small end of the cycle, it can be really dark out when I get home. We have a one-car garage and my wife has claimed that. So I get to park outside in our double wide driveway. With the time delay feature, I can leave the lights on so I can see where I am walking. That is especially nice when there is some ice on the driveway.

The time delay is a nice feature. If you have it on your vehicle, don't forget to use it. And be nice to restaurant managers. Please don't use it in a lighted parking lot. It will save us the time and embarrassment of going around asking people if they left their lights on. Thank you!
