Auto Headlights??? Is there a way to turn your lights of at night with out turning the car off? like if i just wanted to run parking lights? Is there a switch or button i need to press like in my Silverado? thanks. 
some ppl say u can move the e-brake up a notch, that didn't work for me, i took out the radio and cut the wires to the light sensor, and then put the 2 wires together and taped them.worked for me, think the instructions are on www.Installuniversity.com

if you do it the e-brake way, u still have to turn the car off, unless you start out with them off... i know in my dad's tracker he used to have, you could pull the e-brake up a notch and the lights would go out

i just unplugged the small DRL harness out of the control module. No more burning up 3157's, no more auto headlights.
took like 2 minutes total. replacing the blinker/drl on the camaro every other month sucked.

A switch is better, be advised my switch takes bout a min or so before the lights go off when you activate it, I was expecting a instant cut of the lights, but the sensor takes a min or so to be deactivated.
So when you wanna creep up activate the switch a min ahead of time, I dont mind. And I really opted for the switch cuz I actually like autoheadlights!!!
