Atleast Monday is a public holiday here in Canberra so I will make a day trip to the coast and run her in up and down the Clyde/Brown.←Mate here is a top run in for ya...Head down the brown to bega, continue on to tathra, head up to bermagui and keep going. This is a magical tight windy road.Get on the highway, and at Moruya turn off to go past Mogo, and head up into the bay then up the Clyde back home.If you feel so inclined after braidwood head north to Wakefield park and run it in properly Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/26025-finally/page/2/#findComment-391937 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have turned the headlight knob to off, but they stay on. It is like the off setting is hooked up to the Auto setting. Any idea's on how to turn them off?Cheers guys.←Do you have the Daytime Running Lights option?

The only lighting option I know about is the Lights On feature, but I think this is only for the interior lights.

Wakefield is on the list for the next month or so for sure!

senna Donating Members 32 Member For: 19y 2m Posted 08/06/06 04:23 AM Share Posted 08/06/06 04:23 AM I found the same thing (with the lights) on mine. If you click it all the way back it goes into "auto" mode which means the lights come on when you start the car and turn off by themselves after you lock it. The "off" position is one click forward.Congrats on the purchase, and even though it's a fleet car, grab yourself a flashtuner, it won't hurt...

Mildman Member 149 Member For: 19y 6m 9d Posted 08/06/06 04:40 AM Share Posted 08/06/06 04:40 AM HmmmI use the Auto headlight switch in my BFT - in fact it has barely moved from that position since I bought the car.The lights come on when its dark, and turn off when it's light (daylight).They stay on for around 15sec after you turn off the car.But the lights staying on particularly when you select the OFF position sounds like a fault...

It is a kit that is installed on all Telstra fleet cars, kind of like a motorbike, as a safety thing....

It was such a success they implemented it across all their fleet range Also, top choice on colour.
