Procedure
As the pilot monitoring; I told the approach controller twice and tower controller once that we were negative LAHSO [Land and Hold Short Operations]. Upon landing; the LAHSO lights were still illuminated. We had to roll through the lit lights to reach the taxi way. Both of us were very uncomfortable with this situation. The procedure; according to the tower controller; is to keep the lights illuminated and the controller ensures there is not conflicting traffic. This practice is conditioning pilots to disregard the lit LAHSO lights which are supposed to indicate a stop line to prevent an accident.
Pilot landing in HNL advises Approach and Tower that they are negative LAHSO [Land and Hold Short Operations]. While rolling out pilot observes LAHSO lights that are still illuminated on the crossing runway. Tower Controller advises pilot this is their procedure. Pilot reports this is conditioning pilots to disregard the lit LAHSO lights.
