I do think turning the headlights/taillights on and off with the wipers is putting unneeded stress on system because there are plenty of times when I use the wipers for a little mist or something and it would get distracting having the headlights/taillights turning on and off all the time (of course this mist requires more than the one swipe -- but only a few swipes really.)

I wasn't thinking of the law. I was thinking about safety. If conditions are such that the headlights should be on, I think the tail lights should also be on. I assumed they were, until I found out differently.The mist cycle would not affect the lights. The wipers have to be on for about 30 seconds before the "auto lights on" feature works in most cars. Again, this post was just in case some may think ,"ok the wipers are on, so the headlights and taillights are on".This is not so, unless it is dark enough out for the system to want the lights on for darkness reasons. Just trying to be helpful.
