next to the dash light switch is a button...hit the button 2x quick hits the chime will sound,,, now, until shut down , you are in control of the head lights...

this also [switch] is the dome over ride...pushed in,, the dome Lt can be shut off..

you will the have to rewire the fuse panel..after you are successful let me know what you did, and the after effects if any..

Why? I think the automatic lights are awesome. There are lots of things I don't want the pcm to do for me, but headlights is not one of em. Had my wifes since new, and no problems with them to date, I really like em. I don't know for sure what an open will do, but I thinking taking the sensor out will have the lights on all the time, not off all the time. Easy to check though. The forward part of the top of the dash is just held on with pressure clips, just pull it up and you can unhook the sensor to test the theory. Don't know for sure, but I bet the bcm will through a light on the dash though.

is that some kind of side effect of the hid lights? or is it just not working right.

remove the light sensor and put a variable resistor on it and see if you can trick the BCM into thinking its sunny out...

I never did this ,,,,
