I think this is auto turn off headlights after you get out of your car - to light the way to your front door?
I believe this is fitted to some Hyundais and possibly other makes too.
RE: Follow me home - J1ODYA - 7:th-May-2016
I have them but not sure if part of premium lighting pack... when key out of ignition flash headlights and stay on for couple mins... can set it in the menu screen.

Mins stay on too when you flash the lights before getting out and I don't have any extra light pack... I have a dongle now which makes them come on with an unlock and again when the engine is turned off [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

You can have the headlights light up on exiting the car turn off open driver door and pull high beam stalk towards you.
There is a setting in the config settings

There's only one way to do that mate if you're not wanting to do it using official sensors which require VCI codes and thats to buy the happy blue dongle that I have

Follow me home:( How is it going to be
RE: Follow me home - Kado1111 - 18:th-May-2016
How do we make the cheapest method Have friends waiting for a proposal
RE: Follow me home - stigeye - 18:th-May-2016
Cheapest option will cost you nothing, as already stated... take your keys out of the ignition, pull the high beam towards you, get out of the car, close the door and the high beam will stay on for about a minute or so. Long enough for anyone to get to their front door. Unless you are looking for something a little more fancier?
RE: Follow me home - Kado1111 - 21:st-May-2016
Do not have an inexpensive method to follow me home
RE: Follow me home - Rusty2009 - 21:st-May-2016
You have follow me home lights as standard so I'm getting lost with what it is you keep asking.
To turn on the follow me home lights.
1. Remove key
2. Open drivers door
3. Pull high beam stalk towards you.
Job done.
There is a setting in the settings where you can change the time IIRC from 30 Second's up 2 minutes (Not 100% sure on timing though).
If you want the lights to come on when unlock the car you need Auto lights or a happy device as already said.
RE: Follow me home - stigeye - 21:st-May-2016
Follow me home lights are standard but I don't think there is a setting for them in your config menu unless you have auto lights I think. I have a look through my config menu the other night and can't find any settings for those lights, maybe it's an option that can be enabled through tech2... The follow me home lights worked fine though using those steps you mentioned, the lights stayed on for at least a minute.

Do not have to use it
RE: Follow me home - alex02 - 22:nd-Jun-2016
If anybody is interested in coming home and follow me module friend in Croatia is making them for Hondas but also work on other models. I can post in trade section. Price for module with shipping as far as I know is around £25-28.
Soon he will have few versions available (with central locking and also user switched duration). One which is now available is for connecting with interior lights.

RE: Follow me home - alex02 - 22:nd-Jun-2016
What do you need exactly?
There are 4 wires to connects as I know. Ground, constant 12V, wire for lights and wire for interior light. He says interior wire lights should be one which is triggered when car ia unlocked goes to 0V and when interior lights goes to (7-12v depending on car). It's called pwm.
I would done it on vectra but don't have access to tis to see which wire is which. No cutting is involved since it comes with t-taps or scotch locks. As I remember about pwm best way to see is front map lights. There should be 3-4 wires. 12v, gnd and pwm wire which is 7-12v when lights are off and when triggered wire should go 0v and is somekind of ground for lights entery system.
Module is triggered with interor lights when unlocking car or opening doors or removing key from ignition in some cars. Then lights go on and when interior lights go off then starts module timer for follow melights. Time is pre defined (5, 15 or 30 seconds).
I saw module and it's quite small (50×35cm). I can ask him to send picture of module. Few versions should be also availabe soon as I wrote before but have no exact eta.
Need new disk with 32-bit system...
This is his car with fogs
