Does anyone have an idea on how to completely turn off the headlights? Their always on no matter which setting you select. (with the ignition on):
I wanted to turn off it when light switch is turned to 0. I google this and found using the following way, unfortunately it does not work for my car, anything else I have to try?

put light switch to the Center position , (sidelights > Green LED ON)
Switch ignition key to position II (Drive, but Do Not start the engine)
Pull Main beam lever towards you and Hold it there,
Turn light switch to 0
release main beam lever

If you could provide help, I would appreciate it. thank you very much.

You have to take it to the dealer and pay about $100.

the reason i want them off is i am driving car in day time, it is energy waste during driving.

What energy is being wasted?
Besides - it is proven to be safer to drive with your lights on.
