So, i've got my 2002 Jetta for a little over a year now and the battery died on me this morning.
No big deal, i thought. Went to my local flaps and got a new one, replaced it, so far so good. Then i went online and low and behold found out that my car seems to have a problem with the battery draining. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Now, here's the question: My car came with the "neat" feature of headlights that are always on. As soon as i turn the key, they light up, no matter if night or day. How can i turn my headlights off so i can actually recharge the battery while driving during the day?
