Re: Twilight feature (michfull)
michfull,
I ordered the feature on my 1999 C5 coupe. After using it briefly, I turned it off because the headlights were always opening when I started the car in the garage. It is a useless feature.

Re: Twilight feature (tscales)
I'd say no, since it is all in the PCM. Can't say for sure though.

Re: Twilight feature (vettenuts)
I have it in my 02 vert, but usually leave it off. I don't like the headlights popping up all the time.

Re: Twilight feature (DsC5)
I had the ALC (automatic light control) on my GTP and got quite used to it. You couldn't turn it off but it could be defeated by pulling a fuse. On cloudy days the lights would cycle on and off and sometimes became annoying.
With my C5 the lights popped up every time I started it in the garage, which became extremely annoying so I turned the Twilight Sentinal off.

that doesn't make any sense then, if it is just a pcm change then why leave it off. i figured there was some additional component needed that added weight which is why it isn't on there.

Don't know why it was left off.
Contrary to the other posts, I like it and leave it on.

Re: Twilight feature (maninblack)
I can see why this would be annoying if you didn't have the choice. To me it seems like a cool feature and if it was easy to turn on (add a sensor?) I'd probably do it just to try it out. I could always turn it off later. Anybody have a clue why it wasn't available on the z06. Weight? I'm sure the computer is the same as any other c5.
thanks,
Mike

Re: Twilight feature (jmX)
I can't stand this feature. I have my Vette parked in a parking garage and it flips the headlights everytime I start the car, and everytime I come home and drive in the garage.
I turned off this feature the very first day and totally forgot that it exists.
