So I have a bad memory, and all my other cars I dont have to worry about turing the lights off as they do it themselves. So I want to re-wire the lighting system to work on switched power in my RX7 so save me many dead batteries

So my question is. picture below.



If I take the wire from the 30amp headlight fuse and re-wire it to a switched 12v source well that take car of my problem?


The way i am seeing it, doing it that way should kill power with the key off to all the lights and the headlight motors, which is no problem....but am I missing anything that would make it so i could not do this?

Thanks

If you get out of the car and the headlights are a) popped up, b) shining light, turn them off.

I prefer not having some of those idiot-proof features. Also, I've never left the headlights on, it's typically really obvious that they're on.

That said, I believe the headlights run off relays up in the front relay box. If you could swap that to switched power, that might do the trick. But, that's definitely some wiring you don't want to goof up - if your connection goes bad, you could be going down the road with no headlights.
