The only thing similar I have done is just to wire it to a relay with the keyswitch for a daytime running light & auto off/on idea.

Years ago I bought a GM Accessory Twilight sentinel kit . But they don't make it any more, I still have it on my El Camino . JC Whitney sells a add on kit for like $53 bucks. The old gm ones are stupid expensive on E-bay. $300 to $500

It only had like five or six wires,and a small photo cell wasn't too bad, I dont know what the one from Whitney is like.

That car was totalled out in ~99 or so. But, it is SUPER easy... You just find a section of the fusebox that is hot only when the key is in the on position. That wire becomes the relay "activate" wire, then you just pull out the headlight switch and wire jumpers to the appropriate places (using a volt meter it is easy to figure out which go with what).

i know it might seem hard to find but i know for a fact my friends 1984 grand national come stock with a twilight sentinel system so try looking in to that for your cutlass sounds like an awsome idea.good luck! 8)

JC Whitney is a catalog put out several time a year if not monthly (used to ) that has after market/brand name parts from lug nuts to lift kits to repair panels and stereo stuff . Can be had at any book store. We used to call it the gear head hand book as it was a place to see whats out there . And subscriptions r way cheap as well as a catalog i
