<nodding>   I think that's the problem the person who started the
conversation ran into, Don Tivar.  Because the headlamps go on, the person
forgets that the lights are not really on, and they get caught because they
don't have taillights.

I just wish there were a way to stop the headlamps from going on
automatically, or a switch you could throw to turn them off (I've checked
the owner's manual), because I really don't like driving around a campground
at night with what I consider to be bright lights.
