before you start the car up, put the E-brake up ONE notch, just so it senses it on but its not grabbing anything, then allll your lights will be out when you crank it up

is there anything that can be done to disable the feature to where i can turn them on and off manually even while driving?

Well you could drive around with the ebrake up one notch or take out the photo sensor and replace it with a resistor (not sure what value, might search).

Heres another way with this write up

I believe its a 33k resistor. I have one out in my school bag. I stole one form my digital electronics class.:p

I just plugged in a carbon film resistor, don't remember the exact specs. Pick up a 5 pack at radio shack for like 2-4 bucks, you will need all 5, mistakes are bound to happen. After you do that it will disable the feature all together, the only thing on will be your running lights which don't put out much light by themselves.
