I will let you know if it turned out to be something easy to do. I will try to search for it. I will let you know if it turned out to be something easy to do.

I don't know if there already is some kind of relay that turns your lights on when the ignition starts? All new european cars turns their lights on when they're started. Hi Tony,

that would be nice! I don’t know if there already is some kind of relay that turns your lights on when the ignition starts? All new european cars turns their lights on when they’re started.

That's alot of money. So, I think you're not going to need my circuit at all :p I should create something for you to turn your lights on automatically as soon as you start your car then ;-) Wow!!

It became a law to always have your headlight running 15 years ago or something like that. I think germany, sweden and norway must have their lights running at all time like we do. If you forget to turn on your lights it's a 100$ fine. Hi Tony,

About the high-beam assistance, It's a great option! I think it can be done, but I will have to finish this first before jumping into another project :D . I hope I will be able to write about this soon. Hi Dennis,

I was thinking if it was possible to make a high-beam assistant (like the ones on the new 5-series), i don't know if it would work using the same diagram just in reverse order: if oncoming traffic gets too close (the sensor should sense the oncoming traffic lights getting to bright), and then turn off the high beam until it gets dark again, then turn the high-beams on again. I know the "original" highbeam assistant, use some kind of camera and maybe some computing to figure out when to turn the high-beams on and off.

I also found a connection problem in the diagram. I fixed it too. Just use Ctrl+F5 to refresh your browser. Done Ricky. I also found a connection problem in the diagram. I fixed it too.
