    I think there is a way to turn off your auto lights. Now don't quote me but it SHOULD work. I have no idea what it is though :-/ If anyone has a 99-2002 silverado check the owners manual. There is a sequence with the headlight switch and the ignition key that will disable the auto on headlights. Now this will probably only work on 99 and up Gp's but it should work since they are essentially the same systems. Somebody do some diggin.

    p.s. to the o.p. I'm totally from Mason City Ia too.. word

    No, only pulling the fuse works.

    Ok. No. If a car is equipped with auto headlights by law there HAS to be a way to override the system besides just pulling a fuse. Didn't you wonder why there was an off position on the switch? Edit: Now that I've had 10 min. to brood I'm rather upset with your statement. How could you possibly state that only pulling the fuse would work? You can pull the fuse, unplug the sensor (may throw a code or disable lights altogether), click the e-brake, try my override, or diode the sensor as well! All of these will effectively shut down the auto headlight system. Let's not just assume that because your method is widely used that it is the only method. Ignorance is never appreciated.

    The ebrake trick worked in my 2000 gp. Will it do anything to the brake even though its only one click?

    You should also just be able to pull the fuse out in the fuse panel on the 2000 gp's but, on the 2001 and newer doing that cuases a relay in the drl module to keep makeing an annoying clicking sound. So you have to remove some wires from the drl module the link I have posted above is what I think I used and it worked fine. I also bypassed the auto dimming sensor with a relay between the two wires I believe I used a 3 ohm resistor to do this.
