How can I get the headlights to turn off on my 2002 Pontiac grand am while at a drive-in?

The 2002 Pontiac Grand Am, like most cars, doesn't have a feature to specifically turn off the headlights while the engine is running *unless* it's equipped with an aftermarket system. The headlights are typically tied to the ignition system.

Your options for a drive-in are limited, and none are ideal:

* Turn off the car completely: This is the safest and simplest solution. You'll lose your radio and climate control, but your headlights will be off.

* Park far away: If the screen's far enough away, your headlights might not be bothersome.

* Use very low beam (if you have that option): Some cars allow for dimming beyond just on/off.

Important Safety Note: Never attempt to modify the electrical system of your car unless you're knowledgeable about car electronics. Improper wiring can damage your car's electrical system or create a fire hazard. There's no safe, simple way to disable the headlights on your Grand Am without turning off the ignition.
