Default Headlights always open and on.

No matter what I do, as soon as I put my Vette in gear the headlights open. What causes this and how can I make them operate only when the headlight switch is switched on?

I just discovered my Vette has the twilight feature, and it is on You're supposed to be able to turn it off using the options feature in the DIC, bit won't respond to any request to turn it off. Any ideas?

If yes then you cannot disable the twilight feature through the DIC.

You can just pull and leave out relay #44 in the passenger foot well fuse box to disable the Twilight function. Many of our Canadian Forum members do this.....

Thanks for your response. I wouldn't have believed my Vette was built for the Canadian market, but I checked the build sheet and, sure enough, it was built for Export. I knew it was built for Dobler Chevrolet in Hempstaed, NY on 08/03/98, but I assumed it was a car built for the US market. Guess I'll just pull that #44 relay to fix the issue.
Thanks again.
