On my 06 Monte I just turn the h/l **** to the left 1 click and it turns off the auto function/ daytime running lights. I can't recall if earlier models have that feature.

Hi JRockZ,
I just thought you turned your light switch to `Off



Nice Monte S.S. 4-Sure
Do you have factory lights ? any modifications to the lights ?
Was your car running @ the time ? Key on of off ?
Please post more information `OK > Good Luck

I have the switch in the above pic and actually I think the car was already running so the auto lights were already active and I cranked it to the left and the right, to the right just dims dash lights,,,, ill try again b4 I start the car maybe that'll do it.
Thanks for the compliment!


Thanks

In mine 03 I have noticed in daylight conditions the daytime running light turn of if the car is running in park long enough time as the lights turn off automatically after turn off the car at night.
Not sure if you are trying get them off in day or night time

Pretty sure you can control all that via radio.
