Depends, if your truck was built in canada then no you cant. Otherwise you have to hit the dome override button 4 times and that disables it. But, you have to do that everytime you turn the key.

WHAT?!

99-00 does not have dome over ride... you need to keep you ebrake one click down to make them non auto
01-02 you tap to dome over ride button a couple times

to make them permanently non auto you must splice the sensor and put in a resistor not sure what size off the top of my head

any truck built for US sales will be able to disable them with the dome override, except 1999 year models. An easier alternative is just remove the bulbs
