Default Daytime Running Lights

Anyone know how to disable my automatic lights when it gets dark? I like the corner lights on like the corvettes but I don't want the headlights on.

i think the only thing you would be able to do is the mod where you put a resistor in place of the sensor and use the switch on the dash. Your driving lights should still come on but your headlights will stay off until you turn the ****.

I believe you have to remove the pillar trim first, then the dash can pop off (velcro and some snap connector?), but maybe somebody else can confirm that?

It's weird, sometimes my DRL will come on and sometimes they won't. I know if I start it with the ebrake engaged, as soon as I put it down they'll come on, but sometimes if it's already down, they don't turn on. I don't know if it's something else I do, or something is jacked......
