My friend has an 02 Maxima and his HID lights shut off automatically after a minute or so. I tried it on my Z, but didnt have the patience to wait and see if they would turn off. Im guessing they wont, but does anyone know for sure?

 

No, it does not shut-off automatic.

 

they do shut off automatically. i was at the drag strip, left my lights on for a while and they were off when i got back. maybe 5-10 minutes not sure.

 

they do shutoff, gotta be patient to watch them turnoff though.

 

Ya, 5 minutes.

Check your manual. It says 5 minute shutoff.

 

damn someone had said they shutoff(tho he had said touring only, guess that wasnt right) but he also said like 45seconds. I watched and watched, got impatient when the time came and went.

good to know they will turn off eventually.

 

i believe your car has to be locked with windows up

 

nope, just take the key out and they will auto shutoff.

 

Nice!! It feels good to know that they actually do turn off automatically.

 

Why would you leave the lights on, unless you needed it light up something?

I heard thats not good for the HID's to be on when the car is not on?

 

Hince, the auto shut off feature. I think it should be sooner than 5 minutes though. It's almost impossible to leave them on by accident with that anoying sound you hear.

 

To the best of my knowledge, this feature has come standard on almost all new vehicles for a couple of years now. It was originally known as the "Idiotproof group" when listed as a feature.

Seriously though, WTF is up with the "Audible breakwear sensors"? Brakes have always squealed when it was time for replacement, but every new car lists it as a standard feature. Do people actually think it is something special????

 

Actually, the brake sensors on our Z’s are an exceptionally advanced brake warning system.
THESE ARE NOT YOUR STANDARD WARNING SENSORS. Their made from titanium triple polycarbon dual anodized fiber flux magnetic sensors WITH a complex integrated audible difribulator. Some high end cars come with the EFSHGS systems (Emergency Forecast Single Hub centric Grease Solenoids in case you didn’t know that acronym) .Ours Z’s do not. Like I said, not standard stuff here.
I say we got a deal on these babies. I think the McLaren F1 has them as standard equipment too (someone please verify this).

Ditto~~

 

Yep, was looking for someting in the street and left my lights on, and they shut off on me. Wasnt expecting that...

 

I was at a stop light this morning, still dark, some guy on the other side of the road kept turning his lights on and off at me, my lights where on (not on full beams either) so I dont get it?! Wtf does it mean!

 

Was it;

Off. on......off. on. off...........on.....off? If so, it means; "I can't see your Z in the dark but nice car man".
