One other reason (at least for some of us) to want the ability to kill the headlamps while the engine is running: it's considered to be very impolite to approach a guard station at night with the headlights on. It makes it harder for the guards to see inside and around the cars, and thus irritates them ... not a good idea when the guards are armed with official gov'mt weapons which are *not* loaded with blanks... And for those of us involved in astronomy, one *NEVER* drives near an active observing site with the headlights on; for anyone planning to attend a sky party changing the headlight programming to permit dousing the headlights is an absolute necessity.
