on which model of car because it is something i have never seen happen :erm:

Re: Check your lights!
 

SAAB have a bulb test whenever you turn the car on. You have to press the brake pedal to complete the test and check the brake light bulbs.

Clever those swedes, also the headlights will not stay on when you remove the ignition key, so you can't leave the lights on and flatten the battery (the sidelights will stay on if you put the switch in that setting, but it beeps when you open the door).

Pity those 'clever swedes' at Volvo couldn't produce a car which automatically fires the ejector seat when the driver puts their main beams on uneccessarily :grind:

Re: Check your lights!
 

Now that'd be good for a laugh, they could do the same for BMW drivers who turn without indicating :D

Re: Check your lights!
 

Well my current Volvo, and all of the last three I have had, have main bulb failure indicators on the dash. My Volvo V70 has a digital trip computer that also warns me of any bulb failure, even down to which bulb is at fault, so there.:p:
And the main beam is not switched on by the driver. it is the dipped beam or "daytime driving lights" that you cannot now switch off. as you could with a small screwdriver slot in the dash on my previous V70. Properly adjusted they are not a real problem, they only cause problems if you go over a speed hump and people in side streets think you are flashing to let them out, a signal that is not recognised in the Highway Code or in most of Europe for that matter.

Well OB you could look as if you are trying to put yer makeup on. ;)

What a bloke to could do to allay suspicion I have no idea! Adjust his syrup perhaps? :D

Re: Check your lights!
 

We've got plenty of things we could be adjusting actually ;)

Re: Check your lights!
 

But if you adjust THOSE then they will just think you are a perverted macho ram raider. :Yikes:

No change there then :spin:
