I also wish there was an indicator on the dash that showed when they were on.
You might try covering the sensor with a piece of light window tint film if you want them to come on sooner. Just tape it in place for a temporary test.

The lights don't always come on when I would like them to, like stormy days or fog. Yes I turn them on manually when I want to be sure but it would be nice to be able to adjust the sensitivity.
Not trying to start a fight here...but I wish folks wouldn't all like to have there fog lights on. They cause a lot of glare, but I'm also staring at them like a bug flying into a light. LOL

I think the F150 auto light sensor is too sensitive. I find that my lights are on more often than not. Not a big deal as a former motorcycle rider and a currently a cyclist being seen is very important.
Proper adjustment of foglights is also something to consider. The F150 foglights do have adjustment screws. I run my foglights with my headlights for better low visibility.

Funny I have never thought the fog lights put out any real useable light over the stock HID's. I turn them on sometimes and turn them back off since they really do not help much at all. If they were LED's I bet they would be better.
