I don't do it often but it happens at least once a week, the control is very sensitive for the headlights.

I've done it a couple of times, but it's not something that I do regularly.

I feel kinda silly turning my headlights fully off in the middle of the freeway at night though. :\

I've only done it once, but I happened to be on a major highway at the time. I was pretty embarrassed, so now I'm always careful to make sure I don't do it again.

I have done it several times. It is easy to roll off the headlights if you go for the turn signal with one finger. Now that I am aware, I don't make the mistake……

i do it. it's happened about 3-4 times, not in the past month and a half though.

it's annoying, esp'lly when the manual tells you not to turn on the lights for short periods of time b/c you'll decrease their life.

I've done it a few times too:
I share the thinking of Iris---- I don't want to decrease the life of my Xenons.
I don't do it by accident very often these days tho...

I'm always hitting my windshield wiper just enough to make it swipe, after I do a shift and go to put my right hand back on the steering wheel. Then I curse, since my once relatively clean windshield now has the little gnats I've hit streaked all over it.
