Maybe on some models, but in the book for my 2003 S-10, it is clearly mentioned with the notation that it may not be available on all models.
For those who want to slip around at night unnoticed, here's my

Sounds like a lot of bother to go to. My truck kills both the DRL and the auto-headlights when the dome override button is pushed a total of four times in a row.
