Ok I have a question. Is there any way at night that you can sit in the car with the motor running without the lights being on? I have tried the emergency brake and doesnt work at night. ThanksStacey

The E-brake should work at night if you have the E-brake engaged when the car is started. At least that's how mine works. When you release the E-brake, the lights will come back on. Mine is an '03 and I know the '04s and up have a different headlight module but I'm pretty sure this function is the same.

not if it's a stick. lights on no matter what.

I think in the 05 plus, the e-brake will prevent the DRLs coming on, but there's no stopping the headlights when the auto sensor wants to turn them on.Try standing a flashlight on top of the sensor ?

My 03 the e-brake will work, but on the wife's 04 the lights are on no matter what.
