Stereo & Electronics - Automatic headlights: How do you turn them off at night?

I know that there is a sensor somewhere (I believe in the dash somewhere) that automatically turns on the headlights when it reaches a certain darkness, I was wondering how you turn them off? Ive tried messing with the switch for the lights and no luck. The only thing that I can do is turn them on in the day. I want to be able to turn them off at night. Is this possible? If so, how. Thanks

Click the emergency brake up one click and it should cut the lights off…

I found this web page very helpful...

There is another way with a switch. Go by LS1Camaro.net

I wasnt actually looking into disconnecting, modifying or taking anything apart, I was just looking for a way to bypass it. For instance, on the Chevrolet pick up trucks it has the automatic headlights too, but all you have to do is hit the dome override twice and they shut off. There has to be a way to do it on the Camaros too?

too efficient

I pulled the fuse on my old GP to do this, have you looked into that?

Dude, its not tough. Just do what hawgs said in his post above.

By clicking it up once, does it put any pressure on the parking/emergency brake? I know thats not the correct way to do it, is there a correct way? Didnt mean to ignore your reply Hawgs, but I was looking for a different answer, but I do appreciate your help. I just thought there was a way like the Chevy truck do. So wiring them up to the fog lights is possible? Anyone done them like that? How would I go about doing so? Is this a hazard? Thanks

its all good NVMySS :D

just putting it up one click doesnt put any pressure on the emergency brake. are you looking to drive around a lot at night without your lights on?

pulling the e-brake, is rumored to also disables ABS brakes. It could cause problems with ASR not working correctly as well.

Seems to be question for the electronics section to me.

I would not suggest using the E-brake to disable your lights. As said above, it can cause wear on your system. Disable the sensor (I've been told it's mounted around the rear view mirror) or cover it up.
