Disconnect the battery once you have the headlights open.

Well crap.. I hope I can get a refund on the gear packages if I end up not needing them if the stops fix the issue.

Yup, planned on doing that, or just disconnect the power to the motor and leave the battery going. I think that'd be even easier.
