99-07 Chevrolet/GMC automatic headlight hack

Kill switch for auto headlights

[@bravowhiskey4684]

Since reading comprehension isn’t apparently the strong suit of this audience, let’s clarify: 99-07 (GMT800) trucks were produced in both the USA and Canada. The trucks made in Canada were programmed differently for some of the body control module features. 99-02 trucks made in the USA do not have “auto” mode on their headlight switch, it is in automatic mode by default. The 4x “dome override” press trick works on these trucks, but resets every time the truck is turned off. 03-06 trucks made in the USA have the “auto” mode in their switch where you can hit the “momentary” left turn position on the switch and it will change modes. The dome button only does dome override on these trucks. Canadian made gmt800 trucks and SUV’s have different BCM programs, and some of the ‘07 “classic” trucks have this too. I have owned 5 of these GM vehicles and have encountered both headlight switches. The hack shown in this video is a good trick. Alternatively, you can engage the parking brake pedal to the first notch and it will defeat the lights without actually engaging the brake.

I saw the crooked switch mounted and thought it was the one I sold, then I saw when this was uploaded and it was before I sold mine. Lol It is nice to know I’m not the only one who installs crooked switches in that spot😂😂

Lol!

[@spongebobsquarepants725]

Couldn't you achieve a similar effect by turning the headlight dial from 'auto' to 'O'?

[@juliogonzo2718]

It did nothing in mine I think because it was a Canadian model with daytime running light requirement

[@richardosland6529]

Knew there was an easier way thank you

Awesome ! I've got an 05 Trailblazer!

[@PaperBagBerry]

Neat mod! I own a '97 Tahoe so the hack would work the same.

It should work fine. I had an 01 tahoe till someone decided to burn it at 1am. That thing was extremely reliable. The Sierra in the video was a lemon so I sold it cheap. Could have got 1000s more with pandemic gouging but I couldn't do that to someone. I'm driving a Dakota now. It's lame but has been reliable till last week when my flex plate cracked. I'm pulling the transmission on the weekend to replace it. Might have been my fault cause I put a used engine in it when I bought it blown up. Maybe I bent it

How to do you get the chime to stop ringing after you start driving with parking break switch on? Want to use my headlight /parking light knob like normal with parking brake barely engaged but don't want to listen to the chime..

[@curtodell4154]

why not just push the ebrake on . here in new york the cables and drums will lock up from not using them then no inspection

[@douglasjeter39]

All u gotta do is turn switch to left one time it shuts lights off… turn again it turns them back in… lol

[@juliogonzo2718]

Doesn't work on that truck. Prob on an American truck it would. I had a tahoe that was from Kansas and you could kill the lights but the Canadian ones won't let you

[@juliogonzo2718]

I think the 08+ ones it works but I can't remember

[@BodyWeakDotNet]

That's All i Have to Do is turn If left....

[@bravowhiskey4684]

@@BodyWeakDotNetbecause you have a US made truck. How are you people so dense that you cannot understand this?

[@BodyWeakDotNet]

I am drunk while watch but my 99 Silverado new body style head lights do not turn off at all , what could it be , I’m drunk

[@drbirdleaf2574]

Maybe your truck would be easier to operate when no longer inebriated. If they remain on during the day when sober, it could be the switch or it could be the photosensitive resister in the front of the dash. To get to it, remove the radio and reach in to access it unless you have big hands, then call a competent friend with smaller hands and a skinny arm.

es un interruptor de apagado para la luz automática de Canadá, esos no te permiten apagar la luz como los estadounidenses

[@VictorCervezaYT]

Mentira ​@@jt7514 tengo una Chevrolet Silverado 2004 cabina extendida de Canadá y las luces automáticas las puedo encender y apagar cuando yo quiera
