how do i turn off my daytime runnig lights.

Do you have a program on the dash readout that you can roll thorough? One of the programs on there I think has a off on switch for the day time running lights. Why do you want them off? I think it is one of the best safety fetchers after the seat belts and collapsible steering wheel put on cars.

pry stupid answer, but make sure the light switch is off when pressing the dome override switch

Here's a good one. I own a 99, not sure if it's the same. I do this to mine. Engage the emergency brake just a bit. There is a switch on the emergency brake that disables the lights. Do this with the ignition off.
