Default Turbo Timer Auto Headlights

If I have the Turbo Timer installed, will my auto headlights still turn off? I believe I read somewhere in the sticky that they won't turn off?

Anyone install a turbotimer yet and found this to be true or not?

They won't turn off. The reason is because the auto light works off a timer. When you shut your car off the timer for the auto lights won't start until you open and shut the driver door. Since your are getting out of the car while it is running you never trip that particular sensor after the car shuts off.

Kevin from KPtechnologies said I could get some type relay to signal a pulse to the door, but I am not mechanically inclined to do things like that. Losing the auto light feature sucks, cause I always forget to turn of my lights if I had to use them in the rain during daylight hours.

Get water cooled ball bearing turbos and you won't need a turbo timer. What kind of kit do you have?
