My mom had the '93 Bonnie and even in drive you could turn the switch off so you can just drive with the parkinglights/foglights on. So I was wondering if it would be possible to swtich out just the switches or does it have something to do with the wiring itself. Has anybody triedthough of this yet or no.

My '97 has DRL and I can't do it.

It CAN be done... I"ve done it on mine. It is really simple actually.. instead of attacking the hot wire ( positive ).. I just spliced a 10 gauge wire from the ground of both headlights ( onto just one ground wire ) run that into the cabin and the switch.. and have the other end grounded onto the chassis of the car. Everytime I flick the switch.. my headlights goes dead.. the driver information then chimes stating there'* problems with my front headlights.. but that'* ok.. it kinda reminds me ( when on hippie pills ) to simply re arm it.. there fore the ground is there and the light goes back to normal and the error on the driver information dissappears...

I wanted to turn the lights off too , cause you never know when you need to not be seen at night but I HATE splicing factory wiring so I just left them alone!

Yeah, thats ok. Thanks

So has anybody tried to take the control switch from the 92-95 and placing it in other years. Anybody have the part numbers to see if it is the same, or have a repair manual to checck the wiring diagrmas to see if it is just the switch or an actual relay or something that controls the lights. I really want to stay away from tapping into the factory wiring and installing a switch.

Could anybody compare the wiring diagrams in the years where the twilight switch can turn of the headlights while in drive to the years where it cant be done. I dont have the service manuals. Maybe we would be able to find out why it does it some years and others years it wont.

Would this work?

Cool diagrams....PowerPoint??

Dunno, but the photoresistor in the _center_ of the dash (as indicated by the blue square in the diagram above) is the sunlight intensity sensor for the HVAC, not the Twilight Sentinel. The light sensor for the Twilight Sentinel is the little button-like thing on the driver'* end of the dash near the VIN plate.

To be sure, just cover each, one at a time, and see which one turns on your lights after 10-15 seconds.
