LOL - googling my problem and came up with this: Voodoo trick. It says that you turn the car on, turn the wheel all the way to the left, turn all the way to the right, turn car off, turn it on and drive. They said the lights go off when the car shifts into second - and about four people chimed in with 'it werks fer me' (paraphrased).
Well, I'm here to say 'it don't werk fer me'.
Worth a try though... I guess
