Yeah, it's called the driver. When that is defective, the car is no longer usable.
Some cars have automatic headlight shutoffs after a period of time but it's not something you can add.

I sit for long periods and if I don't open and close the drivers side door the lights stay on, I was thinking on one of the old tv shows like grease monkey garage or one of that type I saw something that turned the lights off when the battery got to a certain power level.

Really don't want to have the battery being disconnected all the time because then it causes memory resetting in modules. That can turn out to be a pain if your vehicle has to relearn throttle position, fuel trim, windows, and etc.
What is the year, make, and model of your vehicle?
Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Quote not understood on this: ">>

Just what does that mean? As DS just asked what is this thing too?
Are you near 110 power and just keep it charging or maintained while sitting in this thing or what?

Let me get this right....................
You are sitting in the car and cannot remember to shut the lights off so you want something to do it for you?
