Twilight Sentinel question...
I am the proud new owner of a Canadian 2002 ZO6. The Government up here doesn't seem to think we know the difference between night and day, and as a result the twilight sentinel feature cannot be turned off. When I start off in the morning from my garage the lights come up and, more often than not, stay up until I shut off the engine. It looks sooooo retarded, driving around with my lights up in broad daylight. Not to mention all that un-necessary wear-and-tear on a fairly complex headlight system that has "I'm gonna screw right up on you" written all over it. Is there some way of re-programming something to get around this. What actually controls the lights...the body control module? Could I possibly replace it with a US spec piece? I really feel the need to stick it to the man on this...infringing on my right to drive without lights in the dark, ya know?

You may have a problem with a sensor that needs looking into.
