My hood clears the opened headlamps, but it states in the owners manual that the headlamps should be closed when opening the hood becuse they could interfere with the hood... just be careful.

You don't have a profile filled out, so I don't know where you are. Did I read somewhere that a Canadian Corvette cannot disable the Twilight Sentinel? I know it's standard on Canadian, but seems like someone said it was always on. Anybody know?

If Twilight Sentinal is messed up, just work around it.

Turn the car off before opening or closing the hood... or like mentioned above, disable twilight sentinal. Did you shine a flashlight on the photo sensor on the dash? That may fool TS to turn the lights off too.

Yes I am from Canada so what you are saying makes sense. As far as Chucks comment, I can avoid the problem myself. What I was trying to do was avoid this from hapening when the car was being serviced by someone else.
