From a fellow Canuck with the same question, and no answer. I posted a similar question over a year ago and did not get one reply. I guess the "twilite sentinal" is not an option in the States. I have even inquired at the local Chevy dealer and they don't know how to bypass it. The photocell in the dash actually creates a micro voltage when light is applied, so shorting it out doesn't work. Hope you have better luck than I have had.

Ok... but what is it? What on earth are you guys talking about? :confused:

From what you just said, I'm guessing that the photoreceptor senses that there's not much light and automatically deploys the headlights. Am I close? If that's the case, then I've never heard of such a thing :nonod:

The Canadian export cars have a twilight sentinel that automatically rotates and turns on the headligts. :(

From reading the 94 Service Manual, it appears that the sensor is in front of the driver on top of the dash board. If there is anything there that would be it. There's nothing in that location on US cars.

Hope this helps,

Since the late 80's, all Canadian cars were required to have daytime driving lights, like the C5's have now. When you have the car in gear, the lights go on and you can't turn them off. Real pain at drive-ins but they were intended to reduce head-on collisions that occur more frequently on 2-lane roads for the longer dawn/dusk periods. The cars would be easier to see.

This is actually called Daytime running lamps ( RPO T61 ).
Looks like it's not an option for USA.

It works like this:
As soon as you turn the ignition key headlights automatically opens.
That is if the car is in garage or in dark place.
If the car is at sunlight headlights will stay closed.
But the thing is when they opens you can't close them at your own will.
Sometimes it is annoying but the main problem is that it makes car slower and we don't want that, do we!?

I'll have to work something out.
Thanks anyway.
