If you sense that the level of the headlights is abnormal, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Acura NSX dealer.
Do not leave the lights on when the power system is off because it will cause the 12-volt battery to discharge.

Adjust the auto light sensitivity as follows:
Headlight Integration with Wipers
The headlights automatically come on when the wipers are used several times within a certain interval with the headlight switch in AUTO. The headlights automatically go off a few minutes later if the wipers are stopped.
This feature activates when the headlights are off in AUTO. The instrument panel brightness does not change when the headlights come on.
At dark ambient light levels, the automatic lighting control feature turns on the headlights, regardless of the number of wiper sweeps. You can turn the headlight integration with wipers function on and off.
Automatic Lighting Off Feature
The headlights, all other exterior lights, and the instrument panel lights turn off 15 seconds after you set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF, take the remote with you, and close the driver’s door.
If you set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF with the headlight switch on, but do not open the door, the lights turn off after 10 minutes (3 minutes, if the switch is in the AUTO position).
The lights turn on again when you unlock or open the driver’s door. If you unlock the door, but do not open it within 15 seconds, the lights go off. If you open the driver’s door, you will hear a reminder chime alerting you that the lights are on.
You can change the headlight auto off timer setting.
