First post here glad i found the site.
I need a little help designing a circuit. What im trying to do is make automatic headlights for my car. The thing is i want it on a delay so if i drive under a overpass my headlights dont turn off and back on. I have a HID retrofit and dont want to damage the ballast. I have the delay part down i think but im not sure what to use as the light sensor. i would like to keep it as simple as possible.
this is the delay circuit i plan on using:
I dont know enough about photo sensors to know which one will work best.
Thanks for any help.
