Me too. Its kind of like a car with an electric fan that keeps running even after you shut off the engine. Maybe a silly phobia but I always wondered, "what if the thing never shuts itself off and kills my battery"

hmm, I have had my Maxima since '03 and have always kept the headlight setting at "AUTO" and yes they do pop on when I pull into the garage. But I have not them go out on me. All other bulbs

(need to replace two now) but not my headlights. eh, maybe I have just been lucky who knows.

When I first got her, I'd stand there and wait the damn things to turn off before I walked into my apartment. At first it didn't bother me so much because I love staring at my car. Now, like everyone else, I turned it the auto lights off - rather not wear out the xenons.

Thread resurrection! This exact thing happened to me yesterday. Bunch of bull$hit.

I have an 02 max also, it stays on auto, they go on and off all the time, never had to change them. I'm pretty sure they just can't be turned on/off quickly..they need to be on for a min before they go off so it heats up and cools down properly
