Headlights at night?

I cant figure out how to turn my headlights off at night on my 97 z28. Id like to be able to turn them off for those late night pull-ups into my driveway without waking my parents up with my headlights. Anyone know a way to do this?

On my '97 V6 Convertible I have auto headlights and I can't figure out how to turn they off at night. Look in the owners manual, there has to be a way to do it.

Talking

I know how!!!

OK...on the dash by your vent there should be a small round sensor there. Pry up the dash a little until you can squeeze your hand in there and unplug this sensor. After it's unplugged, take a paperclip or piece of wire and fold it into a "U" shape and plug it into the sensor harness, then tuck everything back under the dash...this will give you full control of your headlights...day or night.

Hope that helps.

This is how it works on my wife's new car...until you release the e-brake, the lights are off...as soon as it is released all the way, they come on. Try just pulling it up a little, it should have enough play in the linkage to be able to pull it up a couple of clicks without actually "activating."

My guess would be that these were Canadian cars since they have used daytime running lights longer than the US.

Actually, another way is to wait for the plastic gear on your headlight to be stripped. At least thats what I was told.

On my 93' T/A, I have a switch/dial that has 3 options, off, parking lights, and headlights. I would think this hasn't changed on the 97's.

Either way to silver97Z
