Car Forum / Lexus Cars / June 2008Headlights
Hi guys, I have a 2003 ES-300. When I leave the headlights on (and remove the key) and open the trunk the headlights stay on till I close the trunk. I would rather that they go off when I remove the key even when the trunk is open. Short of turning the lights off manualy is there any way to accomplish this? Thanks.  SignatureAlan Spitz My wife's LS430 will cut the lights immediately when I press the lock button on the fob, twice. (maybe once, I can't recall). Although it seems kinda' silly to lock the car while rousting around in the truck, you might try that. > Hi guys, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Thanks. > My wife's LS430 will cut the lights immediately when I press > the lock button on the fob, twice.

While pressing the lock button on the fob twice usually turns off the lights, this time it did not. So, I still have a problem where I would like to have the lights go out when the trunk is open.

Also, check the headlight operation section of your owner's manual. The lights should stay on for 30 seconds AFTER YOU OPEN YOUR DOOR (it has nothing to do with closing the trunk). If there is an asterisk which says words to the effect, "this setting can be changed - see your Lexus dealer", you can ask them to change it so the lights go off immediately after you open your door.

I will say, at least on our 430, you're correct the lights will remain on for some # of seconds(presumably 30) after exiting the vehicle. UNLESS.... You leave a door ajar. Then apparently, the lights will remain on indefinitely. I don't know if this ajar condition applies to the trunk. It seems like every time something unexpected happens with this car, I'm digging through a ~500 page owner's manual. <g>
