Yup, how do I go about being rid of them? Can I install a resistor into the sensor harness?

Thanks!

Press the dome over-ride button three times. :D

everytime you get in the truck.... or somehow disable the little sensor on the dash that turns the lights on when there is a lack of light. On my truck it is on the rack covered the windshield defrost-er vents.
Go to www.fullsizechevy.com/fscu/shawn.shtml. This guy did a great write up with pics. It worked perfect on my 02 Yukon.
Y? It has never bothered me, biggest luxury IMO

Did this using this exact write up and it worked perfectly...purchased the resistor from Radio Shack.

The newer trucks will turn off your headlights/dome lights/any light if left on for a certain amount of time with the key in. Left my cab light on one time, but it went off after like 20 minutes so the next morning I still had battery :head:

:word: The auto headlights are awesome, the only downside is when u drive another car and forget to turn the lights on. :LOL:
if i didnt have auto headlights i would be scrwed
the only time i dont like it, and probably because im younger, is when I am trying to sneak around at night or something.

I found out about this while crusing back from the track in my Suburban a few months ago. Empty highway late at night with me doing just over 100. I forgot what I was doing but I hit this switch twice (on-off-on-off) and then all the lights were out (no highway lights either). I think everyone in a 1/2 mile radious heard me yell "oh sh*t!". I yanked back on the directional stawk to get the high beams on until my brain caught up and figured out what was going on.

Yikes! I've never done that on accident.. scary.. and I would never do it on purpose doing the 100mph+ thing :crazy: :nonono:
and just to let you guys know you can turn it off by pressing the dome buttom 2 times LIGHTLY (half way) or 4 times all the way in.
because I am 2 lazy to go out to my truck, get the manual, and read...what is the sensor to disable the DRL's.
