Default Disable Light Sensor for Automatic Headlights

Has anybody successfully tried this Tech-Tip to disable/fix the light sensor for the automatic headlights on Canadian C4 models?
https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...=143&TopicID=2

The light sensor on my 94 LT1 is far too sensitive and pops the headlights up during the day.

I don't want to try it unless it actually has worked for more than one person! I couldn't find any feedback on it when searching the C4 forums.

Note to CorvetteForum webmaster: It would be nice if you had a "feedback" area under the Tech-Tips where people could click a check-box to say "This Tech-Tip worked for me", or provide feedback/comments regarding the tech-tip.

Default Tech Tip for Disabling Daylight Sensor on Cdn C4s WORKS LIKE A CHARM

Thanks!

I bought a set of 4 100ohm 1/4watt resistors for $3.00, and affixed one in parallel with the daylight sensor in the dash and it WORKS LIKE A CHARM!

Here's the link to the Tech Tip:

Now I just have to try the Tech Tip for fixing the loose door panels on my C4. Getting her in the body shop for a buffing and waxing next week. Yipeee!
