Yes sir
I've tried the auto zone lights, they sucked lol. Surprisingly, I haven't gotten anything bad. But oh man, the looks are priceless LOL. I was at a car show, and I backed into a spot between two Foxbody's, with both the owners sitting together behind the cars. I got out and just smiled.. Their cars looked stock so they didn't say a thing, just stared at me LOL.
If I was ever doing anything THAT bad at night, I'd turn the lights off.

Off Topic: How do you turn your lights off? On my SS at night if the car is on then the lights are on. My silverado had a dome override switch that would turn off the twilight sensor but i cant find it or figure it out on my ss.

I'd recommend a search for the write up that shows where the plug / connector is that is behind the stereo head unit that allows you to turn your automatic headlights into manual ones. I tried a search but couldn't find anything.

I believe that is it is different for Camaros than Trans Ams. I believe on Trans Ams, their headlights are manually operated because the headlight actually moves up and down, where as ours obviously do not. There is a plug / connector behind the stereo headunit to unplug that will turn your automatic headlights into manual ones. I did it and love it. FYI, this will also keep the trunk light in the cluster from coming on if the trunk is open and may even prevent you from opening the trunk from inside the car in certain instances.

Thanks, I hang with a less than notable crowd from time to time and itd be nice to be able to kill my lights as to not raise suspicion.

I just did this Last Week on my T/A as well.. Went to VatoZone and got the 2 strips with 6 in each.. Did the Rear Tag Light and Replaced the Interior Dome Light with the Other Strip..Looks Good and it really lit up the interior.. Now i gotta do my Map Lights!

I had to jump on the bandwagon and do this myself. I bought the 9" flexible strip and just used double sided molding tape to attach it. As mentioned, makes it look modern. I like it, thanks for the idea. Now I just need a custom plate. I was thinking of putting a switch on it so I could turn it off if need be.
I also went ahead and got LED reverse lights to help brighten it up some.
