On some cars it is a precautionary measure that the headlights stay on even after the key is removed from the ignition, you will often find they will turn off after the driver's door is opened and then closed again (when the key has been removed)
This precaution is built in incase the car breaks down in dangerous places such as the hard shoulder on a motorway, the lights staying on provides other road users with visibility of your car, especially in dark conditions.
Hope this helped :)

How do you put the headlights to auto on a Renault clio 2002?
Firstly, turn the ignition on but don't start the engine, then turn the headlights on, then off, then turn them back on, then off again. (so twice on, twice off) the car should beep at you twice indicating this function has been switched on. To switch off, repeat the same steps above and the car will only beep once.

Are the headlights positive or negative switched?
Headlights in the US are generally positive switched, because the best source of return current is vehicle ground, and US cars are generally a positive voltage system. However, if Daytime Running Lights (DRL) are employed, often the high beams are wired in series, so as to illuminate at about one quarter power, so the concept of which end is switched becomes vague. Usually, one is positive switched, and the other is positive switched between switched positive and the negative side of the first.
