How to turn off headlights when truck running?

[millworker301]

I have a 2000 Silverado. Is there a way to turn the headlights off when the truck is running? We had stopped to see a Christmas display last year and wanted to leave the truck running but couldn't because the headlight stay on. Is there a way to override this? thanks

Push the "Over ride" button 3 times to switch to manual control of the head lights. Button is located below the headlight switch

Some of them you can apply the emg brake to turn of DLR light to.

His is not an 01 it's a 2000

Yeah mine is an 02 and I have to hit it 4 times. I checked it this afternoon. It makes more sense to hit it 4 times because it returns the switch to its original position. Maybe that's why they changed it in 01?

Yeah well mine is an 03 and I have to turn the dial LOL. While I'm here I want to say I just put a Borla cat back and K&N filter on ,also Edelbrock Performer IAS shocks and wow what a difference in ride and MPG!!!

I guess Chevy can't make up their minds how they want you to turn the lights off, huh?

Hi, My 99' Sierra did not have the "press so many times to delete auto- headlight feature", so I found this site. Maybe this procedure will work on your model as well. www.lightsout.org

OMG GOD PEOPLE!!! Take it from the people who ACTUALLY OWN THESE TRUCKS!!

99 did not have the option
2000 you had to push it 3 times
2001+ you had to push it 4 times.

umm...... hey I got one of these trucks too. Guess what that doesn`t do it for my 2000 Silverado. I have to push on the emergency brake to get them off,like MT 2500 said. Now I see your truck is a z-71 .mine is not and the orignal poster did not specify which model he had either, maybe that is the difference we are seeing here.

Its 4 times on my 02 3500, but thats only until you turn off the ign and after that you have to repeat the sequence.
