Unless you have a Canadian car. It cannot be turned off in mine. Must be some stupid Federal requirement. It drives me crazy that they always pop up when I start my car in the garage.

Yeah, that is really lame. I really wish I could use the twilight feature, but my car is a daily driver, and I know I would wear out the headlight gears in no time when they pop up in my garage every single time I start the car when home. Kind of annoying how they made the delay time for shut off adjustable, but not for turn-on; I would have much preferred the opposite.

interesting. how do you adjust the delay time to turn off? I leave twilight off because I like to be in charge of my car's lights. DRLs are gone too.

For 2004, you just turn on twilight, and it's the very next screen when you press the Option button. You can increase or decrease how long it takes for the headlights to turn off by pressing "fuel" or "gages".

To defeat the Auto Headlight pop up feature on a Canadian car, remove Micro Relay #44 under the toe board.

Once you do that, you'll have to remember to turn the headlights on and off yourself.
