Default twilight sentinel and running lights

A quick question went down in the garage and turned off the twilight sentinel in the car since lots of the forum members say it can wear out the light system going on everytime the car is started in the garage and they go on then go off when you are out in the light.What i want to know since i have not started the car up since the end of october when you do that do the running lights still come on when that system is off?Thank you Charlene

The daytime driving lights work the same, you just need to turn the switch to get parking lights/headlights.

The DRLs will come on when the twilight sentinel is off.

If you want to inhibit the DRLs the quick way to do that is to pull the A2 fuse. If you just turn off Twilight Sentinel they'll work as normal.
