Default How do you turn off the Automatic lights?

I'm hoping it is as easy as a fuse or something but I would like to get rid of the auto lights when I'm at the track. Can someone help?

dude just pull the sensor off and take a paper clip and jump the plug over, so much easier than that...i've had mine like that for like a year with no problems.

You can always pull the e-brake up one click(wont engage the parking brake) and that can be your temp fix.

Look on your dashpad. There is a small sensor towards the passenger side. You will notice it. Simply pull up the front of the dash pad(hard vecro is all that holds it on)

Unplug that little sensor and simply jump the connecter with a paperclip or small piece of wire. Push the connecter down out of the way and pop the dashpad back down.

Good to go!

do that or take apart your headlight switch and find the orange wire going to G and cut it a couple inches from the end in case u want to reconnect it later. this also disables the lights
