overactive auto headlights
My auto headlights are way too sensitive. They come on if I pass under a few trees driving down the street in the middle of the day. I've searched and found alot of info on making them come on sooner, but no luck on making them come on later. Is there any adjustment in that photocell?

I figured it could really suck for someone who converted to HIDs to have them going on/off all the time plus I leave my fogs on so I imagine it's pretty noticeable to others when they cut on/off.

I'm with Shorebird. Unless it's foggy enough to have to be driving pretty slow, all fog lights do is shine too much light into the eyes of oncoming drivers. We are an aging population, and sensitivity to light is one of those aging annoyances. Be considerate of others, and keep the lighting no more than necessary for safety. Thank you!

I leave my headlights and foglights set on auto all the time and have black electrical tape over sensor so if truck is on light are on. People should drive with headlights or fog lights on all the time.
The aging population and number of them still driving is a great reason to do so as we get older are vision decreases along with reaction time with lights on a person can see you better and react sooner.
Not that any of this has anything to do with original question.
