Default Twilight Sentinel Disable

I purchased a 2002 Z06 last May that was originally sold in Montreal Canada.
It has the twilight sentinel on the headlights and you can't turn them off with the normal controls through the DIC.
I would like to remove that feature, as every time I start the car in the garage the lights open up and come on until I am around the corner from my house and they close. I would like to control them like normal lights,when it gets dark, I turn them on.
My last post was about my EBCM, which turned out to be bad, so I replaced it and now it works great.
Thanks for all your help, this forum is very helpful.

That was the first thing I disabled when I got my C5. You need to pull the #44 relay which is located in the fuse box under the passenger footwell.

It can be programmed out as well. Mine was done this year by Dasilva Motorsports.

Does make sense to eliminate the mechanism from constantly opening in the garage.
