So, I was out in the car today in what I hoped would have been a pleasant cruise. Sun was shining brightly when I left. Shortly, after successfully getting gas, dutifully adding the fuel additive recommended, by the guy, I took off to pick up a few things from Food Lion. Well, the heavens opened up and poured. I realized I wAsn't quite sure where the headlights were so I drove a mile or two without them.ooked at my manual while I was at FL And found the lights, and it was a good thing it did as it was pouring by the time I went to get my pizza about 5 miles away. I picked it up and it rained all the way back. Of course now that I am here the sun has come out.

Only mandatory here if it's raining. Friends lights are on all the time though.

@snowy22315 Only if it's raining seems just right, I wonder why lights on all the time.

I helped an old guy the other night who couldn't find the lights in his new car. He asked me in a store car park.
I've been looking for the kill switch on our new bike. Couldn't find it. Because it wasn't made with a kill switch.
Glad the sun has come out for you. Hope the Pizza was good

That's exactly what a kill switch does.
It's really handy when the ignition key is down beside the engine - just kill the engine with the kill switch on the handlebars and then turn the ignition off when you get off the bike.

I was in the Mazda trying to help Bob on the road. I had to look in the manual to find the emergency blinkers. Glad you found your lights.

It's about the way it goes when you are out doing what needs to be done
it's pouring & by the time your done the weather changes.

I knew I was taking a chance, but I wanted to get out of here.

Well, I did drive a little while without them Glad I found them though as it was really pouring on the way to the pizzeria I didn't like having to go through the roundabout when the visibility was so poor.
