Auto Headlights

[K Slice]

This is something I've wondered about since I bought this car. Apparently it didn't come with DRLs, because the lights are never on during the day. However, there is no way to tun the lights off automatic. The control knob has 3 settings, (off, park, on) but if it is dark out, the switch basically does nothing because the lights are always on no matter what you select. Now that I have halos I would like to be able to turn the low beams off at night, when not moving of course. Is there any way to do that? I've never encountered a car before with auto headlights that could not be overridden using the switch.

sub'd. I've talked to booba about this before he mentioned something about wiring in a resistor instead of the light sensor. I'll wait for him to chime in.

I forget which year starts not being able to just pull the auto headlights fuse. But that's an option for the older ones.

Try pulling the fuse and if you hear constant dinging from the BCM, then put the fuse back in and use the resistor method.

Being a 2000 you just gotta pull the DRL fuse

You only hear the buzzing when its night. So if you pull it in the day and it seems you're all good, once it gets dark, bzzzzzzzzz lol.

Yea, guess I should have mentioned that, lol.

what about an 01?

 

[02NavyBlue]

I know 01 can't do it. Can't remember about 00

I disabled auto lights on my 02 without resistors, there is 1 plug I had to unplug and it worked great.

You mean drls

 

[Russosaur]

Nah, i removed the heat sink for the DRLs, removed the DRL fuse and unplug 1 connector under the dash. Lemme grab my video

 

[Russosaur]

This is what i did, pappas told me about it.

Thanks man, I'll watch it when I get home. I didn't think there was a better method

 

[Russosaur]

I didn't either but I've been using it for a while now and haven't noticed any ill effects. I think it might disable light flash when lock/unlocking but im not sure

 

[02NavyBlue]

I already disabled that through the bcm. You have to with hids

Pulling the connector by the door also worked disabling my drl on my 99

I might not be understanding, but on my Impala the lights go off if you set the emergency brake.
