Hi,

Parking my MX5 at the airport but not sure I turned off the headlight. The battery has recently flatted out so a bit apprehensive now.

Will the headlight automatically turned off when we turned the engine off - for NC?

No....but there is a beeper that activates if the door is opened and the lights are on. If you can't/couldn't hear the beep...

The "lights on" warning beep only comes on with the key removed from the ignition and the driver's door open.

There is a kit available from Mazda which will
a) turn the lights on when it is dark
b) turn the lights off when there is enough light
c) set a timer for 30 seconds when you turn the car off to keep the lights on and then turn off after 30seconds.

It is about $100 or so. easy to install to
