Auto Lights - how long do yours stay on?

[jamiez]

Hi

When do you auto lights come on and off? Mine appear to be hyper sensitive and come on almost on every drive and dont go off even in broad daylight

Is this normal?

Cheers
Jamie

Mine are the same! Sometimes I think my car wants to be a Volvo! The Auto Lights come on in all lighting conditions.

I find auto lights as much of a pain in the arse as auto wipers. They NEVER come on or go off wen I want them to. I go for the manual operation every time. :thumbsdown:

True for the wipers - in that you have to "enable" then each time you enter the car - but i also understand the reasons behind why that is so......perhaps they should be a bit more intellegent and auto-enable if there is no frost on the screen

Mine are quite sensitive - but I view that as a good thing personally...

And I like the auto wipers too
