Auto headlights will go off with the e brake, I believe it has to be set before the ignition gets turned on. So to turn them off, you have to shut it off, push the e brake, and start it back up. Might as well have just left it off at that point, kind of a waste. Also it's important for me to have manual control because I have hid's, and starting my car at night turns them on, cranking turns them off, and when it starts, back on. I am not going to use the e brake every time I start my car at night lol.
