you can't. Unless you can find someone that wants to sell their no longer available DRL kill kit. I know I'm keepin' mine. The only things you can do is:
1. turn your headlight switch to the parking light setting, then only your parking lights will be on;
2. with car and everything off, set your parking brake to the first notch. This will keep the drl's and auto-lights from activating. Though in my car when I did that and put it in Drive, the warning tone would start sounding and wouldn't shut off until I released the parking brake;
3. find the light sensor in a vent on the dash and wire some sort of light source above it and fool the sensor to think it is daylight out. Though you will still have your drl's on.
Nick, I think that relay block trick only gets rid of the drl's, not the autolights. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

you are right. the only other way to get rid of the autoheadlights is to do the led trick like grouch said.
and i got the same annoying warning dinging bullpoop that grouch has also with the ebrake trick. works ok if you just want to have it running sitting in a parking lot.
I, however, bought the kit a looong time ago when it was still being made and was still cheap.

Don't know if it'll work on 99 Aleros but it worked with my GA and only took about 10-15 minutes to do (and I'm an idiot.).[/quote]

Yeah this works great, it took me about 45 minutes, being upside down laying across the seat, but it works great, no more DRL or ALC without and SVS[/quote]
