That's what I did. Works great. I hate DRLs and auto headlights. Can't stand 'em.

The easiest way to disable the auto-lights is to short together the two wires going to the sensor. You can use a "scotch-block" to short them together.

Pull that sensor and stick the resistor in and your done. Takes less than 3 minutes and its the 1st mod that was ever done on both of my Camaros

Maybe there's a failsafe when the sensor is missing.

Use this style connector: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showt...=auto+headlight
Lift up the dash pad, it's only held by clips so it's easy. Only lift it as much as you have to unless you feel lucky.
Find the two wires to the sensor, clamp on the splice block (or scotch block) to the two wires.
Replace the dash pad.
You're done. Less than one minute's work.
Two years, no problems. Reversible in 20 seconds.
