    headlights turn of after ???? minutes

    so i left the headlights on because i wanted to see something on the driveway and got out...after about 2 minutes they shut off!!...car starts fine.

    QUESTION
    so do they stay on for a TIME or a battery voltage drop?

    running 8 year old oem battery ...so kinda curious


    never had a car where if you turned them ON...they shut OFF!!!!!!


    2015 Micra S (manual)
    no A/C /no power options/ block heater/4x 2 Ohm speakers...all factory stock in 2015
    Feb 2015 build
    9,999 purchase price + tax..no additional 1600$ because it was a 2015 purchased in 2016
    so receipt says $8,399....+1600 .... so they look good i guess...for a brand new car!

    I think it might be a time thing. Once, I forgot to turn them off when I went to work. I could feel that sinking feeling when I came back and realized what I had done. Car started up without any hesitation. If it were a voltage drop thing, it would either have a really high cutoff point to do that. Otherwise the car would have chugged a bit to get started.
