Default Headlight LED Bars

New here, and do not know if this has been discussed, but is there a way to turn off your Headlight LED Bars and will it effect your turn signals ?

#1- My 2013 is Black and I'm going for the STEALTH look
#2- I have blacked out everything Pony, fog lights, and clip on GTO Headlight Covers.
#3- I am retired, it is a show car, and I never drive it at night, the headlight switch is in the off position all the time and It does not come out of the Garage unless the Sun is out.
#4 So if anyone knows how to turn them off without effecting the turn signals I would like to know.
#5 Here is a pic:

Just leave the light switch in the off position. I thought they only come on when the lights come on, or if the switch is on Auto when the lights are off. Maybe I am wrong.

They come on any time the car is in gear. Ford did that so that people would know it was a 2013+ Mustang coming up behind them (I.e. the car is readily identifiable)

I'll let you know right after I get it figured out, for some reason I don't need lights to show me coming when I am Carving Corners in the mountains. Just one less thing for the cops to remember you by if they are off.
BTW, the first thing I did after I bought my 2005 F550 was pulled the fuse in the DRL, pretty much the same reasoning there also.
