Yes it does! Why? You pull into our garages with the blazing daylight outside and white colored walls, well-lighted garage inside (garage door open) and the 370Z lights turn on. Xenon does not like a lot of on and off as it shortens their lifespan.

Right, either the book or the CD that came with the z (maybe both) even states that turning the lights on and off will shorten their lifespan, but mine are going on and off all the time doing normal things like pulling into/out of my garage, overpasses, the well lit tunnel I drive though, etc.

Same here when driven with lighting position on "Auto." Guess what? We no longer drive with the auto feature, and that too is annoying. I hope that for the benefit of owners of succeeding model years that Nissan properly places these adjustments where they can easily be accommodated—in the multitasking fuel gauge.

Hey SoCal,

I think KillerBee was asking the original poster why it bothers him to walk away with the 45 second timer.

Regarding what you said, I agree, the auto-turn on sounds way too sensitive!
