Congrats! I found out thge same thing with my truck. Once you learn the lights well, you can to a great job. It does lend itself to a natural P&G. One or two will always catch you, but that's just the way it goes.

As far as the engine off operation, my truck has 3 postions: off, run, & start. When I EOC I go from run to off (which shuts off the engine) and then switch back to run. That turns the lights and all the electronics back on but doesn't start the engine. I can bump start in the run position or switch to the start position to engage the starter.
