Hello all,
I’v noticed after shutdown and getting out of the BS OB I hear a small fan running. It’s not loud and there could be more than one, sounds like it is coming from behind each headlight and last about 15 minutes.
I was wondering what they are cooling down ?

Mine does the same thing. I am pretty sure its fans cooling down the led headlight boards.

Those fans should shut off when the lights turn off.

Yes, as others have stated, it's the LED headlamp cooling fans. They'll often run for a few minutes after shutting the car off. Guessing how long they run is based on how long it takes the lamp housings to get to a predetermined temp.
