Automatic high beams
Does anyone know how to deactivate the automatic high beam setting? This keeps the low beam on while in ambient light, i.e., city driving. It's extremely aggravating to have to hold the turn signal stalk for high beams when I need to see better. Thanks.

One option is to move the light switch out of the automatic mode into "headlights on". It's one click to the right. Then your high beam switch will act like a non-automatic car. The headlights will shut off when you turn off the ignition, but of course you'll have headlights on whenever the car is running unless you move the switch back to auto.

If the stalk is forward it is in auto high beam mode. Just pull the stalk toward you one notch to disable it.
