There are time when I would like to be able to turn my headlights off. For example when entering my local military base early in the morning so I don't blind the gate guards. Can this be done with my '03 SE? If so,... How?

There is a way to disable the DRL's, but I'm not sure it's as easy as pulling the fuse on an '03.

Ahh, yes... I think that's to disable to DRL's while leaving the auto on's functionable. I hate both, DRL's and auto on's.

To disable both, just find the DRL fuse and it will also disable the auto lights.

The base has a rule that headlights are to be dimmed when approaching the gate. I get the riot act read to me almost daily. I've upgraded my "wimpy arse headlights", and foglights, to the xeon bright blues. Nothin' wimpy about them anymore.

you can turn the headlight dial to halfway between parking lights and headlights i think and it will turn the lights off. you'll still have parking lights going, but the headlights will be off. the switch has off, parking, and headlights. i know if you put it halfway between one of those three settings it'll do it. i just can't remember off hand!

Hello,
I believe the car has to be off and the parking brake engaged on start up for the headlights to be disabled. Thats the way it is on my car.
It is true, if you find the location right in between the parking lights, and the headlights with your dial, the headlights will turn off. I do this while driving around looking at X-mas lights. Last year, our club went around looking at lights, and it worked on all of our cars.
Later now, Clint

There is a way to override just the daytime running lights on 01 and newer GP's. There is an access panel on the drivers side of the dash, that you can see when the drivers door is open. Pop the panel off and inside, there will be a relay box, this is the module for the DRL's. Just unplug it, and off go the DRL's.
