    That's the way mine worked too diyer2. If you don't want to have to turn off your lights every time you start your truck than the spring mod is for you. That's the way mine worked too diyer2.

    Exactly right sk. Coby, read sk's post. This isn't only about the auto headlights it's also about the drl's. Every time I drove my truck in the daytime the lights were on full time. Nice sleeping lion quote. Here's one for you: If it ain't broke don't fix it, - Gm full time headlights are worthless except to get you to replace them more often. I'm not sure how I eeked through my first 50 years of driving without headlights in the daytime for safety. Lol

    That's the way mine was as well sk. I didn't like having to turn my lights off EVERY time I used my truck instead of just having to turn my lights on at night.

    Try it out by holding the switch over in the off position and start up vehicle and put in drive all while holding the switch off. I'm curious.

    I realize it takes up to a minute for the sensor to react. I don't want them to operate at all though unless I flip the switch, ever. Now with both disabled its simple and perfect

    Yes Denali I used to have to turn the dial to off after I started my truck to get the lights to go off, every time. Try it Denali takes 5 minutes. Curious if it works for you. Coby I've tried it during the day while in park and drive and it works. I've confirmed that my drl fuse is still in place and not blown. It seems like keeping the dial in the off position must override/trump everything else.

    I'm not completely sure about what's going where but I knew keeping the switch in the off position would fix my automatic headlights but it DOES also disable the DRL's. Bubba is right that the power must go through the switch and since mine now won't spring back to auto it cuts all the power to the lights. I've put the truck in gear and the lights don't come on. It's a 2008 3500 btw.

    I've read quite a few posts about putting in resistors or removing sensors and trying to make this subject way more complicated than it needs to be. I wanted to share the success I had with my truck that took less time to disable the automatic features than writing this post will take. Simply remove the light switch panel/housing from your dash and disconnect the plugs going into the back of each switch. Take the assembly inside into some good light and take apart the headlight switch from the housing. Next take apart the switch itself being careful not to pry too deep and pop the releases (the circuit board is just under this cover). Once open you'll see a small coiled spring in one of the corners. Lift it up and it pops right out. Reassemble everything and you're done. Less than 5 minutes and your lights operate the way lights used to work....turn the switch if you want them to come on. You can still move the switch to auto if you want as well but now they will stay in the off position if that's where you want them.

    They don't though. It's beautiful. Just like the way trucks used to be. The switch stays in the off position and no lights are on at all. Turn the switch to turn on the lights.
