Underneath the center defroster vent on your dash is the light sensor for the headlights. If you cut it off and crimp the two ends together you will be able to run your headlights when ever you want to. And run your fog lamps with out your headlights at any time. Kinda hard to get that part of the dash off but it can be done.

You dont even have to cut the piece off, just install a "jumper wire" from one side terminal to the other, tape it up and your golden. great mod.

Go to

It is a slightly different method, but it works.

i just did the mod earlier after seeing this post, i could not get the connector to come off the sensor, so i cut the wires far down, wound them together, and put tape around the ends...worked great

Its people like you that drive at dusk without your head lights on. It makes it harder to see your car.

For some reason pulling the e-brake does not work on my car, anybody know what may cause that?
