Yesterday I saw several late model vehicles with wipers on and no lights. Don't you have to deliberately turn your lights off on most modern vehicles?

Yesterday in the late morning it was too bright to trip my ‘20 Nissan’s auto headlamps. So I had to turn them on manually. Not sure why all modern cars don’t automatically hit the lights when you hit the wipers.

Think it depends on the car manufacturer. My 2020 Edge is set to Automatic lights and it turns the headlights on when the wipers are on.

My husband has a 2020 Hyundai and you still have to turn the headlights on manually.

Total pet peeve of mine, too. Wipers on = headlights on, that's PA law.

It's muscle memory for me... I'd say 95% of the time. When I pull down with my right hand to start the wipers, my left hard twists two clicks for the headlights.

Every time I park valet or take my car to the mechanic, they turn them to full off. Usually I’m good at remembering, but every time it’s off, it’s one of those reasons.
