In most states, the lights are by law, to remain the way they were when the car was manufactured. Unless of course you really really need a fix it ticket.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to make your vehicle less safe?

Read the manual, if it is an option it should be in there.

Is there a button to disable the interior lights? It’s located underneath the headlight switch on my 2000 Blazer. To disable the DRL (daytime running lights) push the button 4x, there should be a chime to indicated the DRL is turned off. This has to be done each time the engine is started.
