perfect auto headlight sensitivity now!!!

I didn't like that the headlight won't turn on even if it's pretty dark when u
set it at auto.
so I took out the auto headlight sensor cover, and stained inside of the
sensor cover with sharpie marker. and set the sensitivity level at 4.
i remember someone saying about sensitivity level as level 1 being most
sensitive. but after my experiments, I determined that level 4 was most
sensitive. (correct me if i'm wrong)
now it turns on at perfect time for me.

Hmmm...I've got mine set at "2", and it seems pretty sensitive.

What about others?

I don't use the "auto" setting. I don't like the HID's blazing on whever they choose to, so I control my own headlights.

In my tests of the auto lights sensitivity settings, 4 is least sensitive and 1 is most sensitive.

When set to 3 my lights were coming on when going under an overpass on a cloudy day. I have set it to 4 now and will test it out.

I may just move to controlling my lights manually too!

I noticed that even when you set the auto lights off delay to OFF, that the lights stay on for close to 30 seconds before they turn off.
