It would be slightly more difficult (though not impossible by any stretch) to design something like modern cars, that would leave the lights on for an additional 30 seconds or so if you turn them off after you turn off your ignition.

Even though it's labeled for 10 amps, I wouldn't run the headlights through it directly. Instead, wire it up to control a relay. https://www.amazon.com/Timer-Delay-R.../dp/B01HNDOCKK I realize this is an old post, but I thought someone may still be interested in this.

Re: This Dummy Needs a Headlight Buzzer
This is how I have a 22535998 chime module hooked up on my 75 C10 to let me know that my lights are still on.
When I open the door with the head lights or parking lights still on the module will chime. I had to hook this up after coming out of stores to find a dead battery because I forgot to turn the lights off. Run a wire from the door jamb ground switch to pin 3 and over to pin 6 on chime module. Run another wire from the top plug on the head light switch to pin 7 on the chime module. The top pin on the head light switch has 12 volts on it when the parking lights or headlights are on. By using the door jamb switch as ground for pin 3 & 6 the module does not need 12 volts constant power to make a chime.

Headlight / Seatbelt / Key Chime
Good deal ! .
The fleet mechanics @ work used to ysnk these out without being asked, many of the drivers were pissed off because they'd forget.... I'm old now so what is there for us DEAF guys ? .

Re: Headlight / Seatbelt / Key Chime
Wire the headlight switch into a relay controlled by the accessory position of the ignition switch. Kill the ignition switch, and the lights go off. I really have no idea why all vehicles haven't done this years ago.
I'm doing this on a complete rewire job I'm doing, because I've never had reason to need headlights without the truck running.

My 1984 Subaru GL Hardtop and 1985 GL Wagon killed all the lights and the dash mounted power socket when I turned off the ignition. There was a way to turn the parking lamps on without the key if you wanted to... but durn if I can remember how it was done. The 70's & 80's Watercooled VW and Audi headlamps would go out but the parking lamps stayed on. More recent vehicles have automatic headlights. I don't even think about the headlamps on my Impala or my Silverado.

Good Idea !
Thanx Kipps ! .
That's a good idea . I'm a Tech Advisor to many vintage vehicle clubs, mostly oriented towards geezers like me, they're always wanting the buzzer for the headlights, I'll begin suggesting this relay idea instead .

Re: Headlight / Seatbelt / Key Chime
i would try one of the factory buzzer first. I installed one in a previous build and was able to hear it. I'm fairly deaf and had no problem hearing the buzzer.

Stock Vs. Modified
I too would keep it stock if I still had my 1976 GMC 2500 heavy duty fleet rig .
I bought it foe one job, rebuilt it stem to stern, had a nice drive up to the border and back then let it go because it was TOO DARN BIG, I miss it still ~ a 292 CID powered i6 with Muncie SM465 gearbox, heavy duty springs from new, 9,000 GVW . I was the third owner and when I rebuilt the mangled dashboard I used all the high end factory gauges from junked Suburbans, I even sourced an original Delco AM/FM radio for it . If only it had been a short bed step side... The dual fuel tanks were nice too, it didn't use much gasoline but on long trips they came in handy . In general I prefer stock to modifeid / Hot Rodded because I'm a cruiser who likes basic work trucks .
