How to shut off headlights when tuning Like the subject says. How to turn off the headlights when reading or flashing?
I read somewhere that pulling the emergency brake on will shut off the headlights, but doesn't work on my 98 Camaro Z28 A4

why do you want to do this?? I'm confused but then again...maybe the new versions of programming tools need all that off....idk Just wondering why you asked that, cuz im curious

Yes...that's the answer. Especially with LSEdit which takes about twenty minutes to flash and if the battery goes dead when making a write you can lose the pcm (disable it). At least that's what I have read.
So better to be safe then sorry and make sure as little power as possible is consumed when reflashing a PCM. I also pull the fuse for my electric water pump.
I have EFI live also (the write is only about two minutes, but can't get it work yet...boot loader won't load) so for the time being am using LSEdit.
As for the ebrake. I'll give it another try as instructed. Thanks.
