  • Auto headlights way too sensitive

    Does anyone else think that the automatic headlights are way too sensitive? Mine turn on when the sun just starts going down, and today I was under an overpass for about 6 seconds and they went on. They also go on if I start my car in the shade.

    Whats wrong with them being on as the sun goes down. I used to always drive with my headlights on cause I didnt have DRL. Statistics show that a car with the lights on, even in the day, is spotted quicker than one with the lights off, even more so at dusk. Lights arent just so you can see, its so peoples can see you.

      i think it is a timed thing...seems like if you are in a dark enough area for 3 seconds or more, they turn on


      i hate when mine come on when at a bank and under their extension for tubes...i usually remember to just turn headlights off though when doing that


      but yes they are quite sensitive to darkness/shade

        Yeah I've been thinking that the last few days. Even if it's still really bright out, mine stay on (say around 5:30-6:00 pm)

        But on the other hand, I love having automatic headlights so it's not a huge deal.

          I agree with you. I know its just a small issue but it bothers the hell out of me turning them selfs on and off...... and so on.

              I don't seem to have that problem. My lights seem to turn on at exactly the right time (other than when I'm under a bridge or something).

              At least you Americans can shut them off after they turn on. Canadians can't.

                I have no issues with mine, as long as they auto turn on that's good enough for me.

                  Mine aren't sensitive at all. They turn on when they should and turn off when they should. I wonder if you could get a new sensor.

                    The reason I'm being picky is because I have the HIDs and I heard it's not really good to keep turning them on and off in such a short amount of time. ah well.

                      when i think there is a chance they will keep kicking in adn out i turn them off manually so they dont kick back on...hard to remember i know but that is a choice

                        I have heard the same thing before too about turning them on and off, there like foresent bulbs and better to be left on constent and not on and off.

                            you dont have to have them on auto, you can manually turn them on and off.
