Doesn't the illuminated dash or huge area of light infront of the car remind you your lights are on? Not to mention the car glowing as you walk away from it  :grin:
Mine buzzes if I leave mine on or leave the indicator on.

Earlier mk3's don't buzz when leaving lights on - which my girlfriend used to do once a month... Almost missed a flight one because of that...
That was a 94 GL, my current 96 CL does however buzz....

Check if you have a relais with "36" printed on it in your electric box...

You can retro fit a buzzer if you know your electrics, if not its just remember to switch them off :lipsrsealed:

Check the wiring behind the A post.
The buzzer should work off the door open button.
