0 Car Headlight with Delay Circuit

What this circuit does is when you push the push-button PB1, it will make your headlight turns on for several seconds or minutes then it will turn off. The idea of this is when you push PB1, the capacitor C1 will charge and transistors Q1 and Q2 are on. During this instant, the bulb is on. When PB1 is open, the charge will drain to the resistors R1 and R3 until the capacitor voltage drops to a certain voltage that will turn off the transistor Q1 (bulb is off). Increasing the value of capacitance increases the duration of the delay. The circuit is very similar to Delay Switch using Transistor and Delay Off Circuit.
