Default Automatic Headlights

I have a '99 Camaro si of course I have the automatic headlights and DRLs. Actually neither of these bother me for the most part. I have a manual car and at night when I start the car the headlights do not come on because the ebrake is on. When I disengage the ebrake the lights come on just like normal. However if you pull in somewhere and put your ebrake back on to hop out for a second the headlights stay on... is there a way to wire this so that when I put the ebrake back on the lights shut back off?

You can just de-activate the automatic headlight feature on the Camaro.

Look towards the bottom of the page.

Thanks, but I did not want to disable the automatic headlights entirely. There is obviously a switch that turns the light on when the ebrake is disengaged. I want to modify this so it turns the lights back off when the ebrake is re-engaged.
