Default Headlight modification

Hey Guys,

I just want to know if anyone knows of a modification to eliminate the AUTO-ON function for the headlights. I just want the lights to turn on when I want.

Thanks

absolutely there is - you know how the sensor is on the dash (on top below windshield)??

Pry up on the panel below the windshield that this is on so it comes loose. You will see 2 cylindrical holder things, and you want the reddish one on the left -- remove it -- then cut the 2 wires coming off it, and connect them to one another.

OR

Disconnect sensor, place U shaped conductor in sensor connector (so no cutting wires).

An even easier trick that also saves cutting wires is to use one of those blue Scotchlock connectors that are designed to crimp over an existing wire. Just crimp one across the two sensor wires that fredmr39 pointed out so that they are shorted together. If you want to go back to stock later, you can just remove the Scotchlock connector.
