What the hell I have a fully loaded 01 EX and my lights DO NOT shut off on their own and NEVER have. I've had a dead battery a few times due to me thinking I had that feature..it's listed on my window sticker anyway.
Relays, capacitors, and lots of resistors... more than I ever wanted to get into. The dome light fade alone is two relays, one capacitor, and three resistors if I remember correctly.
i'm sure you do , maybe you have a bad relay somewhere, but I think that feature is pretty cool, works with OEM fog lamps as well, those take up a lot of juice.The differnce between an EX and LX is more than just a moonroof and alloy wheels.
