However, if you REALLY want the option, you need to do two things to install it.
1) Install light sensor in dashboard vent (if not currently installed)
2) Program the BCM (you will need someone with a Tech2 for this step) to turn the option to ON.

If TWILIGHT SENTINAL is not listed when you scroll through the OPTIONS button, then the car left the factory without the option.

2) Program the BCM (you will need someone with a Tech2 for this step) to turn the option to ON.

Don't forget that after the RPO is installed you need to go into OPTIONS and A) Be sure the Twilight is now listed and B) Set the option to ON.

Any GM dealer (Chevy, Pontiac, Cadillac, etc) has Tech2 programmers, as do most independant shops that service Corvettes. Doubtful they would rent one, but slip the shop manager a few bucks cash and I'm sure they'll be glad to do it for you as it only takes a few minutes. Take the print-out of the steps from the link above, programming the RPO codes is not something the service guys do commonly, so it will make it faster for them and assure you it gets done right.

I've got that twilight sentinel option and I turned it OFF. It comes on in the middle of the day when you pull into your garage or the car wash. It is just another drain on the battery and wears the gears in you head lights out more quickly.

I have turned it off as well. I really don't like it turning on the lights when I pull into my garage at work or at home.. They were coming on sometimes when I just pulled under the covering at a gas station.
There "appears"" to to be a way to lengthen the time it delays (turns on or off the lights) but I did not see a way to change it. If it was lengthened from 1 - 2 minutes (not turn on so quickly..) I think I would use the feature a lot more as it probably would not turn the lights on when entering my garage (either at work or home) every time then.
