Headlight Warning Buzzer

I have a 2002 Honda Civic LX.

It does not have a warning buzzer to let me know that I have left the lights on. I have had to jump start the car recently. And I am sick of not having any sort of warning. I went to the source and bought a Piezo Buzzer to install following the guide on this forum for an earlier generation. I had no luck.

Does anybody know how to work a round this?

Thanks!

There has to be a work around. There is nothing in the interior fuse panel in regards to the headlights. SO what do I attach it to?

Usually you wire into the parking light and the defroster relay.

I will give it a try tomorrow.

How would the headlight and the brake light be connected?
I realize you have to put the car in park.
On the 4th gen it makes sense. Headlight to Negative = ALARM.

Go to source and buy a little buzzer for 2$. then wire it in the fuse box, simply remove the fuse, put the wire from buzzer under and squeeze the fuse back on. you will have to wire it inbetween parking light or Taillights/License Lights/Instrument Lights Fuse and rear defroster as mentioned above. Then make sure you secure the buzzer safely somewhere with some double sided tape and make sure you dont leave it hanging.

Yeah I wrote that. On the 4th gen that trick works perfectly.
On the fifth gen the headlight fuse is under the hood and not in the interior.

I am looking for the work around on a 2002.

You could just extend the wires, run through firewall and into the cabin.
Sorry did not ready thoroughly, was too tired.

I tried to set it up just using the fuse box and it did not work.
Has anybody tried this before and on a 2002?

I can confirm that simply attaching the buzzer to the two fuses does not work.
Then I found this article.
