Default Auto on hedlights?

Is there a "conversion" for auto on at dark headlights...?? (06 Chrono, no nav, single disc c/d)

Yes, it's called a 991 and will set you back about $96K for a "S". (Sorry, didn't mean to be a smart *** but I couldn't resist.)

Also, I've never understood this, but on my 06 C4S, turning on DRL caused only the headlamps to light up but on my 08 TT turning on DRL every light except the dash lights are on (front, back, everything) so essentially I have "auto on" (other than dash) since the lgihts are on all the time.

That would be a stripped down "S"

The only reason this is a problem is that our "other" cars turn on at dusk, and I have gotten used to this...seems easy enough atr design time to add a notch to the headlightr switch and a sensor....Oh well, other wise the car is SUPER (in it's second day of our ownership...or should I say "her" ownership
