No more forgotten headlights

I guess I'm having senior moments but I find it easy to forget to turn off the headlights when I park. That won't happen to me in the future. Today I installed a circuit that will sound a buzzer if the headlights are on and the ignition switch is turned off. One of my friends said he has left his headlights on in his MGB and had a dead battery after work. I didn't care to have that happen to me. It took a little head scratching to design a circuit but it was worth the effort. There is probably something made commercially but that wouldn't be any fun. Last year I installed a buzzer to remind me to turn off my turn signals. Maybe I should rename Little Mo to Little BUZZard. LOL
 
Great idea Nelson, for safety I always turn them on when driving but I don't know how many times I have left them on and someone has left me a note saying they flipped the switch for me.
