How do I turn off all automatic lights?

When I open the door, the parking lights come on and stay on for 1 minute or so.
When I take the key out of the ignition, the dome light comes on for a while.
I hate that!! If I want the lights on then I will turn them on!
That makes it difficult for a stealth getaway when her husband comes home!

The dealership can turn off the perimeter lighting with their scan tool, it's called "Dark Car". By doing this you'll lose the dome lights when you open the doors, you'll have to turn them on manually.

I was wondering that myself. I don't want them off totally. I was hoping to just have them shut off sooner.. Hmm Guess Ill get a new alarm that will over ride that feature.
