This is easy. Go into your owner's manual, and look up how to remove your headlights. You just go to the tool kit that's located behind your spare tire and use the headlight tool to pop out each headlight. Once the headlight is freed from the housing, just disconnect the wire loom at the rear of the headlight. This will disable the self leveling feature. Do the same for the other headlight. Then, just reseat the headlights back into their spaces, and pop them back in.

Once you do this, however, you will need to re-adjust the beam of the headlight low beams because they normally face down and then move up as the system self levels. Your headlights will now be stuck in the down position, and your low beams will be too low when you turn them on if you don't adjust the beams up. It shows you in the owner's manual how to adjust the beams as well, or you can take it to the dealer and have them adjust them properly. That's all there is to it. Hope this helps.

Can the motor be disconnected somehow? How?
