Default Running Lights On

The normal mode for my running lights is ON. I prefer the inconspicious OFF. So after I start the car, I have to remember to turn the headlight switch to the running light position which turns them off. A pain. I've fiddled with the settings a lot; but no luck. Dealer is an idiot.

Suggestions (on lights , not dealer)?

Pull your hand brake up one notch and that will turn them off or disable 38 and 40 in passenger footwell (I think) and that will turn them off.

The simple fix is to pull the A2 fuse on the underhood fuse panel

The permanent mod is to do the relay fix:

You'll find the dealer wont be any help because its a GM approved "safety feature" so he's worried about the lawyers.
