I recently purchased a 2002 Suburban Z71. While driving at night, I pushed the dome override switch a few times and my headlights went out. Lucky I wasn't traveling around a curve and was able to bring the vehicle to stop without completely running of the road. (I was traveling 50 mph on a country road) I then read my ownerS manual and learned that the automatic headlight system will shut off the headlights if the dome switch in pushed (in-out-in-out) regardless if the vehicle is in motion or stopped. I believe the headlight override feature should only work while the vehicle is in park. Permitting the automatic headlight over ride feature to shut off your headlights while the vehicle is moving will cause accidents. I had a near miss the headlights should never be permitted to shut off by a switch labeled "dome override" while the vehicle is in motion & it is dark out.

Headlights on late model SUV's (Suburban used as example) are aimed too high, blinding sedan drivers. Thank you for your consideration.
