Headlights on automatic

[Adair]

Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity or timing of the auto lights? Mine stay on well after sunrise these mornings. And they don't seem to come on as early in the evenings as I see on other cars.

 

I know, nit-picky.

I haven't found an electronic sensitivity adjustment. But I did put a little piece of black electrical tape over the sensor, and that seems to make them stay on a little longer around dusk and dawn. The sensor is way forward on the dash, a little lump between the defrost vents for the windshield.

Thanks MikeB!

 

I couldn't understand why they were still on in full sunlight this morning............this is a new development. It *used* to go off after the sun was up, on my way to work.

Mine will often be one even if the sun is up because I'll be driving away from the sun and the car itself will cast a shadow on the sensor.
