I would however like to point out that you named the thread "Disable Daytime Running Lights"

The DRT is not quite as simple as you suggest. I've owned my 2000 Tahoe since new and it has had the following DTR issue since new. 1st: the Ambient Light Sensor feature hasn't functioned since new. In the dark of night [even with a towel over the grill], the DTR activates. 2nd: DTR activates either the low or high beams depending on the position the low/high switch was left in. 3rd: I have never seen the actual DTR lamps on. Years ago, I checked the lamps & then pushed & pulled everything I could find just to see if there was some way to turn them on. The only feature that seems to work as designed is the button you press 4 times to extinguish the DTR. I took it to the dealer once and was told the vehicle appeared to have the snow-plow feature. Note I said ONCE. I decided pushing the button 4x suited me just fine.

And if your an amature astronomer you know that any light is a bad thing, go to any star party with your HID's a blaze and your lible to have rocks thrown at you.

Same here. As a photographer I'm often out at pre-dawn hours and lights scare the wildlife off. Very problematic
