auto headlight adjustment...

anyone know how to do this? i want to change the timing of my headlight auto function so that it'll turn on/off after like 10 seconds instead of a minute.

only way to do is if you had a lever to control the duration of the headlights...otherwise, you're kind stuck to the default setting..

unless, there are other ways to do this...

Mine turns off the minute the key is pulled out of the ignition. And it turns on the about 5secs after I pull into a tunnel/parking garage.

I did not know there is a way to adjust that timing. Maybe I dont understand what you are talking about

i've got a 2k model and the headlights turn on 1 minute after pulling into a parking lot or tunnel. i had a rental 2k1 max that turned on/off the headlights after only 5-10 seconds or so. not a big thing but helpful in day to day driving.

well, the auto on/off feature is controlled by how much light is hitting on the sensor, which is mounted on the driver side dash right before the windshield...if you don't get enough light(say you put books on top of the sensor and covered it..) then the lights would go on even if it's sunny as hell outside...

mine turned on in about 30 to 1 minute...unless i was already starting my car in my garage or in dark areas...
