Headlamp Delay Switches

Headlamp delay systems automatically control headlamp "on-off" operation after the ignition switch and main lighting switch have been turned off. The system, controlled by the driver, provides a light-on situation on a time-delay basis, so that the occupants will have the convenience of headlights after leaving the vehicle. The system automatically delays switching off the headlights for a period of time preselected by the driver. The system can also be switched to a light sensitive, automatic on-off control of the headlamps and other exterior lamps. A light sensitive photocell is mounted in an area exposed to outside light. With the main lighting switch off and the automatic control on, the system will turn on the headlamps when natural outside light diminishes.
