you can just rewire it thru the.....i forgot hehe....the little boxes on the right side of the car right behind the coolant tank

i dont know how to explain it but if you kno what ur doin it shouldnt b hard

u have to find the RELAY!!! ya thats it find the relay and find the one for the headlights there are a couple of connectiond under it just find the one that gets power when you turn on the light switch and run a wire from that to another connector on another relay that gets power from when the car goes on.....hmmmm thats a good idea i might try that

P.S. - im not liable for any damages to any cars that you do this to ive never tested it and i dont know if it will work but ill try it....why not

Do you have the AUTO headlamp feature on your car? If so, you can just take a black checker (or something else black) and cover up the light sensor. Just leave the switch on AUTO and they will come on when you turn the car on and turn off when you turn the car off.

I did this to an old car I had. I went to a electronics supply house and got me a relay. It was made to switch a high current off 12v. I wired the acuator side to ground and a wire thats hot when the igntion is on. I found the main hot wire to the headlights and cut it and put it on the switch side of the relay. Doing this on a Max may be very different tho.
