Default disable daytime runnin lights?

Can anybody tell me how to get around the auto lights? I kno in my pontiac GTP I used a resistor at the sensor to trick the system. Probably same thing with camaro? Anybody save me some research time?

I don't like em for the simple fact that I don't get to control my own lights AND.....I'm always blowing bulbs every couple months. On my 94Z, I can't keep the fog lights working more than 2-3 months if I use em all the time. They are such a pita to replace. Hands and arms get all cut up lol. Luckily, since I don't drive my Formula or my LS Z, I don't have to use those lights often, but they blow bulbs much more than any of my other vehicles. The bulbs in the front end of these cars are not easy to replace..idc what anyone says. They really should have given people the option on something like that. As soon as I figure a way to disable that horrible option, like hoodini, its gone gone gone.

alright did some lookin and found that if you unplug the automatic light sensor and jump the wires with a 1.6-2.2 ohm resistor this will trick the system into thinkin it nice and sunny out! Will try to find the sensor tommrw and give this a try. Let you all kno, take some pics while I am at it.
