Default HELP: Defeat the automatic headlights

When you disarm, and when you turn off the vehicle, the headlights go on. There has to be a way to defeat this. Else, my new <1k mile dark green Rubicon goes on sale

While I don't know the answer to your question...

Help me understand how someone spends close to thirty thousand dollars on a vehicle and is then willing to sell it (probably taking a big depreciation hit) because the headlights come on when you use the remote key-less entry to unlock the vehicle???

You could not use the remote key-less entry and just use the door locks. Then the lights wouldn't come on... And mine do not turn on when I turn off the vehicle. If you have the headlights on and you turn off the ignition before turning off the headlights, they will then stay on for 30 seconds...

Just wondering.

I don't think he meant he was going to sell it, I nearly assure you.

That does not defeat the headlights. This sequence defeats the parking lamps from flashing (once for locked, twice for unlocked) while the headlights continue to illuminate. Insofar as not using the remote entry, that is not a bad idea save for the fact that the headlights still come on when the ignition is turned from on to off.

$26k for a Jeep with annoying auto-headlights?! No way!

Seriously, don't sell your Rubi. There's bound to be someone who can figure this out...
