Unless my memory is failing, you could not disable it on the fourth generation Fbodies unless you wanted to re-wire the circuit!

Here are some PIAA TERA Evolution 6000 LED lights in the parking light socket. You really don't have to buy PIAA for the same output. Any 6000K LED will probably give you the same results
Man, that looks good!

almost zero
well i found it hard to manuever my hand thru the wheel well especially when trying to "twist" the tube where the bulb is and i already have small asian hands lol other than that its simple really(thanks to a member**batman_4** here that gave me the guide to do the replacement) 1. to make it simple when working on the driver side turn your wheel all the way to the right to give you more room 2. remove the clip holding the wheel well( theres only one) 3. slowly pull out the plastic wheel well and youll see the bottom part of the headlight assembly 4. look for a cylindrical grey tube in the area where the bulb is(you can almost tell right away when you see it) twist counter clockwise and pull 5. remove the stock bulb and replace with the LED's(note use paper towels when handling the bulb to avoid any oils from your hands burning out the bulb) 6. put everything back together and do the passenger side and you are done about 5 minutes each side

My 2002 Trans Am was fully loaded and didn't have the automatic lights. I think it was only Camaros that had that, and yes you're right, you had to change it over to the non-auto circuit. The other GMs had the option of turning them off. I've had a lot of GMs with the auto headlight deal.

I never messed with the headlights but I did do a very minor re-wire so that my fog lights didn't turn off when I went to hi-beams...I wish I could do the same in my M45 but I've no idea how easy/difficult it would be!

PIAA Corporation USA - Hyper Tera Evolution LED wedge bulb
I think this is the bulb that's used in the pic. PIAA TERA EVOLUTION. Will I ever spend $98 for a pair of 194 bulbs? probably not. But it's there if you want to buy it.
