    So I disabled the drls in my 99 gt, and the other night when I tried to drive stealthy(complete darkness, you should try it) I saw that my dic and stereo still shine pretty bright. Also if the parking lights are on then I can use the dimmer for those things. Is there a way that I could rewire or buy something that allows me to dim my dic and stereo with out my parking lights on?


    Sorry for the long post, any help would be great, thanks

    This. Dims everything inside. But your headlights aren't just for your sake, they are for everyone else on the road. If someone hits you and your lights weren't on, it's your fault. Also you can't see deer and **** just saying.

    if i see another car i'll turn them on, and besides, i drive slow when i go stealth.

    i know the risks and such but i was wondering if i could dim the little information thing above my stereo without the parking or headlights being on.

    when the headlight switch is off the stereo and the orange thing above it go to full brightness, i would like to dim these..

    Below your headlight switch is a wheel... spin it all the way to the left. We just told you this. That dims everything, lights on or off...

    if its dark, have your lights on. i dont know about all you but i wish my lights could be even brighter... couldnt imagine it dark like that. BUT you could probably rewire it or something. wouldnt be worth all the work though IMO.

    You're an idiot.

    I sure as hell hope you don't injure someone else when you're riding "stealth"

    Get a ****ing clue and turn your lights on...

    My fogs don't turn on unless my park lights are on. But my park lights are always on when I'm out cause if they're not, my blinker mod doesn't work.

    ah. well there's a couple ways to run just fogs in gp's. one you can click the e brake one click so where its' not engaging but its still showing as on on the dash. or you can turn the manual lights button halfway between the second and third option

    running it halfway between park and headlights kills the corners without triggering the heads?

    no, lights the corners without triggering headlights. while the ebrake kills all driving lights

    well turning it to the second notch lights the corners, the rear lights and the fogs if they're on. so putting it halfway would be pointless.
