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.

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?
