well i thought you turned the car off during a drive-in. anyhoo. for a quick fix just put the vehicle in park. get all comfy and push the parking brake a little and they turn off. either like push it just until the lights turn off or depress it fully either way it works. have fun. enjoy the movie and some reses pieces too!. oh and the origional coke. lol

You don't have a headlamp override? Check your owner's manual. All vehicles have to have a way to turn the headlamps off.

Can't you pull your headlight **** out one position and they will shut off? Mine do. Then if you pull them out all the way that is how you turn your lights on manually. I know this because my husband's truck doesn't have DRL's and he always turns my lights on when he drives my car out of habit.

On the headlight switch, turn the **** back to off, the lights will turn off and the **** will spring back to auto mode. They will remain off until you cycle your key off and back on again.
