Then our car doesn't have daytime running lights? (Forgive me, as I've driven my Z only two or three times due to the terrible winter weather here.)

I'm not aware of any DRL's on the Z. You either have your HID's on and/or parking lights on.

to answer the OP, they will turn off after 5 mins. i leave my parking lights on a lot like this since i have the LED's and use them as DRL's.

As I stated earlier, read the manual, page 2-31.

The lights will definitely go off after a while.......however....you'll have to have jumper cables to start the car afterward......:-)

majorbanjo, normal is right. The 370Z can be driven and turned off with the headlights in the fully on position without any ill effects (except more use of bulb hours for daytime driving and 5 min. left on after car is turned off, if 5 min. of lost battery power worries you). I tested this today, thanks normal!
