No way! I thought all Firebird headlights were manually activated...

Yeah, aren't Firebird's manual??

But, if you pull up your parking brake one notch, just so the computer thinks it's on (do this BEFORE starting the car), it'll disable the automatic lights.

I also believe there's a group of wires behind your head unit, if you pull it out, there will be a small gray box, and if you cut the blue wire going into it, it'll disable them. I'm not 100% sure on this though, and if it is true, it should also disable your DRL's as well.

i'll look through my factory manuals. i think there is a way to do it but it might set a network code in pcm... let me take a look and post what i find...

dont your guys' firebird do that, when the sun goes down and its a little darker out my headlights pop up automatically. and the only time my fog lights are on is when my headlights are on. :cool:

Wow, didn't know such feature existed on 'birds. If anyone figures out how to do this, let me know, it would be kinda nice.

Must be something they only did to Canadian cars. I know one way to do it is to disconnect the light sensor on top of the dash next to the little blinking red LED. You have to pull the upper dash up then you will see the little light sensor. Just unplug it then put a jumper wire between the two terminals.

EDIT: Also do NOT pull your parking break up one notch and drive around like that. It supposedly disables your ABS.
