Shucks!  I think Walmart has gadgets that do the lights on lights off thing from anywhere.  I'd even seen on TV a portable 
wall switch that will turn on any light to which it's been connected.  They could get that tacky little switch and attach it 
to their dash...   and VIOLA!  Lights on/Lights off from their car.

But I think the term "unknowledgeable" might have been a better term to use instead of "idiot."  But that's just my humble 
opinion....
