Default Light shutoff switch

I need a way to shut off every single light on my car at night while the car is still running. My DRLs stay on and im still very visible, and Id like to be able to shut off my rear ones too.
Is there any way?

Hmmmn, back in the early 70's, pre-Marine Corps days, I had a hotrod VW that I had rigged to shut off all the rear lights... to assist in evading to local Leos. Had a turn where if I had a bit of a lead, I could shoot off the road on a left hand sweeper, nail the brakes, kill the lights and hide behind some shrubbery. Dare I ask why you want to kill all the lighting before I tell you how?

i didnt think about the tails. ummmmmmm then your going ot wanna go to the pcm and locate the exiting power wires for the healights and tails, running, and interior(just incase) then put them all to a seperate switch. one of which i know of is a push button that would go in dash and can have up to 4 different switches on it.

this would require a wiring diagram

i have all the wiring diagrams... how hard and what exactly is the best way to do this to an 07 lt? The headlights and ambers can go off already with the ****.. But one for the interior lights and rear three lights would be awesome...
