Engine running with lights off?

Is there a way you can tirn the headlights off with the engine running? I can only turn them off when ive stopped the engine. Cheers
 
Switch off auto by pressing the button on the end of the left hand stalk, it will display a message on the dash when you've held it down long enough, can only do this when the car is stopped I think
 
Erm.. they should turn off and on instantly when you rotate the stalk mate.

Edit: unless you're talking about auto lights then ill shut up haha...
