Any one have trouble with the autoheadlight sensitivity? Or lack, thereof? With the switch in the auto position, my headlights are still on throughout the day. Sometimes, they will be on in the garage, and turn off when I back out of the garage into daylight, but turn back on in the middle of the road. Can this be adjusted? Thanks!

Just turn that off and use the headlight switch when u need lights on. It's a safety issue. I've seen people going through intersections and the sensor is undecided so it almost appears the driver is flashing the lights at you to let you turn in front of them. One day it's gonna cause a crash. Or you will be behind some one and they will think you are flashing them for whatever reason. How stupid are drivers that they need an auto to turn on lights when it's dark. If you want lights on reach for the switch and then them on.

In VA where I live they glue an annual safety inspection sticker right in front of the light sensor.

If they get a little too close, the lights are on all the time. I have to specifically remind Mr. Grease-Wrench to offset it, or I have to live with the equivalent of daytime running lights for a year until the next inspection.

Mine go off and on a lot in the AM. If I go under a tree on my way to work they click on. Pass the tree off LOL.

Same here. I asked around but no adjustment available from dealership. I just use it manually now but having them come on with wipers was nice since it's the law here
