Automatic Headlights
Does anyone know of a way to turn off the automatic headlight feature on the c5? The lights pop up even after I get gas in the middle of the day because I am sitting in the shade, and it is really annoying. Thanks

If you have a Canadian model then you can not shut it off.

If you have the Canadian model (which does not have a defeat feature for the auto headlights), try
corvettegadgetman.com
$20, takes a few minutes to install, comes with good instructions, and is about as easy as it gets.

Another benefit of turning the twilight sentinel off is it will save wear and tear on the headlight motors.

When all else fail, read the manual. Same answer today as eight years ago.
