Completely turning off lights with car running?
The other night i was.. on a stealth mission with some friends, and i had to leave the engine running, i flipped the lights all the way off, and shut off the fog lights.. but i couldn't get the small inner lights to go off (not exactly sure which ones they were). the light wasnt too bright, but still was just annoying that i couldnt actually turn all the lights off
any help?
any help?

As far as I know they can't be turned off unless you turn off the ignition. I know on some models you can, there's another notch on the headlight switch to turn them off, and others it's an LPS. I was surprised to see that it wasn't an LPS on the IS as I would have opted to turn it off.

Some dealers will do it if you ask, others refuse to do it. Safety thing. My service writer wasn't aware of it when I asked him, but I had the complete sheet of all options (look in the FAQ thread) and he said he would talk to the technician. They turned them off.

it's weird on the drl's. I seriously have no idea why people would want those ugly low power high beams on during the day. However, after reading these forums I think me, ben_r, and evitzee are only people that had them shut off. So this is one of those things that I feel either old or just wrong about. I still say they look like crap.

But I got rid my the ugly crappy look last weekend...
