My Ridgeline did this. It also had the nifty roll the windows down from the keyfob just like the Accord as well.

Yes yes other cars have it, older cars has it, even cheap Hyundais have them...

Now why can't we have them Honda!

Simple barbaric and direct solution...

You could just put a relay in the headlight wiring in the engine bay. Have the relay close when the ignition is on. But of course you would NEVER beable to turn your lights on when the car is off. (getting more complicated, you could put a bypass swith in to bypass the relay)

EDIT: Dont do this. Im a space bum. Forgot that there are other lights on the car. :)

This sounds easy, but you have to put a relay into the fog wiring, parking light wiring and headlight wiring. Isnt it so?

Ahhh yeh... Good point.

I got to set some time aside and take a look at the wiring for the light switch.
