Hey.. Since the Canadian Cobalts have a Automatic Light System and cant be turned off ...

i'm sick of it.. i cant run the night in the city with only my fogs and flashers.. or when ever i get under a bridge.. or bla bla.. my HID's turns on and they dont turn off after..

so i'm asking if there was a way to like removed the sensor.. or a fuse or something so i can turn my lights on manually

Thanks guys

 

Rotate the end of the turn signal back towards you to turn off the auto lights. Then they won't come on by themselves unless you turn the ignition off and back on. When you do that, they will be turned back on again.

 

that only works with the US cobalts. it will only turn off the lights if the car is not moving and the e brake is applied.......damn canadian laws.

 

Damn!!! That does suck!!!

 

yeah that exactly why i want to try something

 

I lost mine but yeah I agree with you it sucks that we can't turn off the lights.

or are we supposed to be able to? cause I can't turn off the lights (not DRLs) on my car when they decide they want to be on, unless I'm parked...

stupid car shouldn't decide for me when I don't want it to..

 

anyone...?

 

well on the other thread we both posted in about lights someone had pointed you to a fuse that can be taken off and that turns off DRL's it's a bit drastic but it's supposed to work.

I think it was in the appearance section if you want to dig it up.

n/m I found it and it seems that wasn't what you wanted cause you did that change.

There is a DRL fuse.

 

its not the DRL light .. its the Sensor on our dash that control the headlight in the night time.. i want to remove it so i can manually turn on or off my lights..

 

BUMPITY BUMPPP

how do u do this, guys?

 

I would like to know a way to do this also.

I want to be able to turn off my HID's and just have the halo's going when needed.

 

tape a led to the sensor, as long as there is enough light the photocell will tell the car to leave the light off.

 

Funny, I was just thinking the same thing (duct tape and a 6 volt Coleman flashlightlol but it doesn't work that way. DRL's are on whenever the engine is running (without E-Brake) and the sensor simply brightens your lights to normal when it gets dark.
I'm not aware of any simple way to defeat it.

 

your taling about the DRL JMH.. remove the fuses for it in the fuse box you wont have light on in the day.. only the night... but i want just want to know how i can remove the sensor.. for me to decide when my low beam are on.. like if i wanna drive in the city with only my fog and corner light on..

 

so...there is no known way for us canadians yet, eh? lol

 

A photo electric cell is a variable resistor, with there no power if theres no light out. SOOOO...

Unhook the sensor, connect the two wires together connected to the sensor and bam, no more issues?!

 

^^^ lol that question mark at the end of that sentence is pretty reassuring :P

 

Well I dont know if it'll work for sure... GM sometimes does things ass backwards and makes it harder than it has to be.

 

Blame Canada! Blame Canada! lol

 

yeha lol.. and how do we get to the sensor.. its right in front of the windshield.. we'd have to remove the whole dash cover to reach it lol

 

Another Canadian cobalt here but with a slightly different annoyance.

The stupid sensor controllers interior lights too. Sometimes it thinks its still night when I drive in the morning to work so it keeps the lights dim. I can't read anything on the head unit screen when it does that!!

Anyone else have this problem?

 

yeah that sucks *****..

although I like auto lights but I'd like to be able to turn them off cause sometimes the computer gets fooled

and I can only turn them off when stopped/parking brake on. Meh.

 

i found another fuse box.. will look into it tomrow to see what is in there.. hope theres one for the damn headlight..!

 

anyone know which fuse it could be..?
