Head Lights ALWAYS on??
So I've noticed my headlights are always on, even during the day.. IS this normal. I have the SS but no RS so it's the standard Halogens not the HID HALO's I have to turn off the automatic light control to get my lights to turn off. Where is the light sensor located, maybe Faulty? Anyone Else?

Pretty sure it's mandated now that new cars have to run lights all the time.
So yeah, it's normal. |

on my car Monty the 2004 Monte Carlo the DRL (daytime running lights) come on when the car is put into gear and shut off when in park. they are usually (each car is different from make to make/model) the high beam lights but on a much lower setting. if you ever park your car in front of a building with glass start your car and put it in gear then back to park then turn your lights on manually then switch to high beams you will see that the DRLs are the highs. on my car do not know if the Camaros do this or not but the headlights turn on automatically when it gets darker does not matter if the switch on the dash is on or off.

On chevy trucks, the daytime running lights are routed to the e-brake. All you have to do i believe is reroute the wire and you are good to go.

I can turn them off on my Silverado by hitting the dome light switch 4x. I get a chime, then they're off.

Some cars (like the late model GTO) have the DRL on a separate fuse or relay, which makes them easy to disable. I have no idea how it's done on the Camaro, but if the manual has a section on fuses and relays you might look there for a relay or fuse marked something like "DRL".
