how to turn headlights off?

[Qwk94Z28]

Ok man, very easy... take out your stereo headunit. There is a blackbox mounted right behind it. Lift it up and out. You'll see a black and a blue harness connected on top. Disconnect the BLUE harness. Remount the box and put everything back together. You're done.

interesting thanks mike

Mikesomething, is that to disable DRL, or to overide the headlights? Sorry if I'm asking you to repeat yourself, I'm late for work and don't have time to scroll.

2 birds, 1 stone.

thread resurected!!!! i really want to do this but according to one link you need a 10k resistor and the other says just a wire. which is true? are they both true?

[dparsons1968]

I used the 10k resistor. You can get them from Radio Shack for less than $2.00. Works great. No more getting asked if I can turn my headlights off when I get to the gate at Fort Gordon.

just do this one...i did it..it's free and easy

thanks guys! i gonna go with the resistor cuz i like the DRLs on during the day

[Speedy_Gonzales]

That's why we bought Trans Ams. We are smart enough to know when to turn on our headlights, don't need no stinkin' automatic headlights!

but your wallet will be lighter when your headlight motors go bad

the blue harness mod works in ta's also to disable the amber drl's... just fyi the 99 to 02 gm trucks... hit the dome override button 4 times fast to didsable the autolamps

Good info, but I do not like headlights as DRLs. I really don't like DRLs, but the first time I saw the amber DRLs I thought that was cool. Then found out the F-bodies have ambers for DRL, I thought finally GM did something right. Then saw a TA with the ambers and fog lights on (no headlights) and I was hooked....

i did this yesterday. i used a 10k ohm resistor and it works perfect. at nite time when i put my brake down, just my drls come on! looks sick.

Soldered up yesterday and it worked great!! No more DRLs for me!

sometimes my lights come on even though my e-brake is all the way up(engaged). anyone have a clue why? i always put my e-brake up before i kill my car.

If your car is already on and then you put the brake up the lights are supposed to stay on.

Do they come on when you start your car if you never put the brake down?

yes

i took an easier approach... behind the moonsoon, there is the drl module... i just added a little wire, shorting 2 pins... would need to look which ones, since it's been something like 6 years I did it... all intents and purpose, the sensor thinks it has daylight all day/night long.

I did it this way: http://www.xse.com/leres/ss/drl.html
but instead of soldering on the board, i just put a wire between the 2 conections

Check to see if your parking brake reminder light is on on the dash when you pull up the parking brake. I've noticed lately that mine does not always come on when I pull mine, and if the car is idling, the BCM won't let me pop the hatch unless it thinks the parking brake is set. I bet it is the same for the headlights. My DRLs won't stay off unless I start the car first with the park brake set, and only then if it knows it is set.
