Do not touch the handbrake switch, you will solve one problem and you will get two or three.
If you want to switch off the auto headlight feature, you'll have to change your car settings using the Honda HDS diagnostic tool, and every Honda dealer should have it. Sometimes mechanics don't know how to use it (apart for standard operations like erasing engine errors, setting new keys or new cpu, enabling airbags after crash...), but this is the correct and only way to do it.
