This is what I would do.

 

how about without remote start, i just don't want my HIDs to come on everytime i crank my truck in the shade, dusk, etc. any idea, is these a way to just override the system all together??

 

Maybe this will help? http://fullsizechevy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114544

Or it seems you could add a small light source that will shine directly in front of the sensor that picks up ambient light.

 

The easiest way is to disable the light sensor in the dash by adding a switch


****The following information is from my 2004 GM Full Size shop manuals, use at your own risk ****

Disconnect connector C3 from the BCM, 24 pin Brown connector
Cut the white wire A4 and put a switch between the cut wires.
Reconnect the C3 Connector

So... When you leave the truck off for the night just turn off the switch, and when you want the lights to work normally just turn on the switch.

**** I have not done this mod, but from what I read in the schematics this should work, I take no responsibility for the information provided****

This is assuming that the remote start is not turning on the lights either..

 

You Could Also Just Disconnect The Daytime Running Lamp Fuse

 

He is talking about his headlights though

 

But I Do Believe That Will Keep It From Kicking Them On Automatically

 

you couldn't send me that when i asked you about this in that PM? thanks. some friend you are.

 

Or maybe back into your parking spot at night instead of pulling in

 

Sorry I did not know where my manuals were at the time.... ***
