GM 98 full size truck (probably same for 96-99 C/K). There is a cigarette pack sized finned black heat sink (this is a double diode, 2 volt drop) located near the steering column. Unplug the 2 wire connector, this will remove DRL on any GM car using low beam DRL. (Will not defeat the auto ON)

thats crazy i didnt think they would have a site about that lol...
It may help you to know that if you plan on ordering a new General Motors car or truck, but don't want DRLs, you don't have to have them. Simply insist that the car be ordered with RPO T62. RPO means "Regular Production Option" T62 "Lamp System Daytime Running - Delete." (Unofficial list of 2002 MY GM truck RPOs) Remember, DRLs are not mandatory in the United States. You don't have to have them if you don't want them. If buying from stock, INSIST that the dealer disable the DRLs as a condition of sale. Contrary to what the dealer might say, there is no law in the US preventing them from doing so.thats crazy i didnt think they would have a site about that lol...
that's a great site, I wonder if it'll work with the auto-on in my '99, it pisses me off as there's no way to turn off the headlights at night, which is inconvenient for events and drive-in movies and such
hell yeah!! i found it,and took it off with a 10 mil. rachet wrench(you must use a rachet wrench) no more drl's.....
Thanks denaliano, thats the second time u've hooked me up.:shake:

1999 GM full size trucks. (Also verified on 2000 model). Here is another way to disable the automatic headlights on a 1999 Chevy Silverado. This is very simple. Remove the radio. Push and twist the photoresister (the black light sensor on top of the dash by the windshield) so it goes beneath the dash. Reach back and disconnect the photoresister from the wire (it should just pop off). Push the wire back up throught the hole (it will be easier to work with this way). For the lights on the '99 chevy to stay off there must be resistence running through the circuit. One way to accomplish this is to run an LED through the circuit. I went to Radio Shack (which I hate doing) and purchased a 12 volt red LED light. I placed the wires in the two holes left by the removing the photoresister connecter at the end of the wire (if your lights don't stay off, swith the wires around in the hole). This is all you need to do. In addition though, I soldered the wires in place and then taped them. I also disassembled the photoresister (use x-acto knives and be careful) and was able to glue it back around the LED light (this keeps there from being a hole in the top of my dash, and makes the light look factory installed). This whole procedure cost me a little over $3.00 for the LED and about 1/2 hour of time.that's a great site, I wonder if it'll work with the auto-on in my '99, it pisses me off as there's no way to turn off the headlights at night, which is inconvenient for events and drive-in movies and such
if you look on top of the dash, in the very middle right by the windshield, between the vents that 1/2" black thing is there there talking about. Very easy to do

I'm not positive on this because I haven't had a truck that you can't turn to auto-on off in a few years, but, IIRC, follow these steps.yeah i gotta do somethin bout that soon especially before i get my HID's cuz i want to be able to turn them off
Turn truck off, set parking brake, turn truck back on.
yeah that does workI'm not positive on this because I haven't had a truck that you can't turn to auto-on off in a few years, but, IIRC, follow these steps.
