there is a sensor for the automatic lights that must be tampered with, there are work arounds for it

there are two connectors behind the stereo. what i did was... i disconnected on the them both the head light and the front yellow light went off. is there a way to disconnect only the head light and keep all the others working ?

The same sensor wires that are shown being shorted in the other thread are in the plug you disconnected from the DRL module. You can use a Scotch Lock to short together the light green with black and yellow with black wires near that connector. That will make the system think it's daylight all the time and the headlights won't ever go on automatically (they'll still work normally with the switch).

I'm afraid I don't know what you're asking for. You originally wanted to disable the automatic headlights - that's what the instructions do. Now you want to disable the DRLs as well? With a switch?

ok.
i try to make my self clear this time.
what i want is after releasing the side brake i want my head light to go off but i want my park light (yellow light) to work and my dashboard light to work. without turning on the light switch.

That's exactly what those instructions will do. The automatic headlights and the daytime running lights (amber front lights) are two different circuits - although they're both controlled by the same module behind the radio.
Shorting the two sensor wires together will prevent the headlights from coming on unless you manually turn them on using the headlight switch. But it won't affect the daytime running lights - they will still come on whenever the ignition is on and the parking brake is released.
Your dash lights won't come on unless you turn the headlights on. There is no mod to change that.

The two wires are side by side in the blue connector.
