Why would you want to disable them?

 

[Big Ray]

I work on a gov installation, tired of dealing with silly sentries cuz they don't like lights in their eyes. (headlights)

More principle than anything. Battery gets weak from my short trips sometimes, easier to turn motor over.

Me & mama went to make out in the truck the other night, couldn't sit there with a/c on cuz the gov. doesn't think I'm smart enough to know when to turn my g.d. headlights on.

those are the main reasons...

I see you're in Phoenix. I was there @ 80, 81.

got turned on to sand rails out there. 1st time I saw a hang glider too.

good times...

 

[Babaganoosh]

Hmmmm I see your points, I would rather just say forget it and deal with it but then again I'm lazy.

 

[Big Ray]

yeah, I gave up some time back. But it stays in the back of my mind...

I just stumbled across that & Thought I'd share...

Oh don't get me wrong it might be useful to the next guy. We have some members here with that style of chevys.

While I see the point of not wanting them on all the time, my DD doesn't have them and I drive with my lights on. It's stopped several dumbsh**s from turning or pulling out in front of me. When I was a cop and we didn't have all the fancy flashing lights they have now, I found my high beams got people out of the way sooner than my light bar.

I liked it better when only bikes had their lights on in the daytime , now everyone has DRL's and no one knows if its a bike or a car they are turning left in front of . Was easier to flash the truckers on the highway too .

My Subs a 99 , I can do the one click e-brake trick .

lol

when I had a bike I got a ration of **** from a 6'6" Marine regarding my headlights. I gave him a dissertation on how the fed. gov. doesn't regard bikers as being smart enough to know when to turn on their lights, therefore in 1978 they passed a law that all new bikes shall have their lights on.

I wasn't able to turn them off, without turning off the bike & could I go to work now....


I had the impression that he wasn't use to folks not being intimidated by him. I went to work....

Auto head can be turned off on every chevy I have driven. You just got to know how. On the 00 and 02 trucks you just push the round ( I think it is dome light button next top headlight switch) in like 5 five times fast. I forgot how to do it on the 02 envoy. But I think all chevy allow you to disable them.

Cool. I wondered why they bothered putting in a conventional headlight switch when the 'lights are automatic...

now i know

Well they are automatic , but not automatic .

As in our 03 Impala , the lights are on high beam with low wattage for DRL's , and the switch turns the lows on full voltage and the highs off for normal lights on .

Far simpler than taking the whole dash apart: take the fuse out. Simple as that. The green "DRL" light on the dash stays on, but I use is as a 'minder to turn my lights on when it gets dark.

I don't have the auto lights, so don't have to worry about that.
