Default Disabling the headlights...possible??

Hey guys, is there anyway to turn off the headlights once the handbreak goes down? I cant seem to find any info on how to do that...

Thanks in advance

My headlights dont turn on when the e-brake goes down. If your talking about the daytime running lights then you can pull the fuse.

Turn off your twilight sentinel if you have it on the car and it is set to the on setting. Otherwise, the headlights should not go up unless you turn on the switch.

I was going to say the same thing about the twilight sentinal. He could also increase the delay time to the maximum and maybe be out of the garage before they turn on. I generally let the oil pressure stablize before I put any load on the engine, and that is a bit longer than the sentinal allows for delay.
