Adjust light sensor for auto headlights?

Does anyone know if the light sensor that turns on the automatic headlights can be adjusted on an 03 Expy? I couldn't find anything in the owner's manual, and mine waits until it's a little too dark before the headlights turn on.

Uh...well you do have the manaul override! ...your hand!

They are non-adjustable. I would make sure that the sensor cover is real clean and not faded or anything.

You can tell the dealer about it and Im sure they would change out the sensor if there is any doubt.

Do you honestly think this is constructive?

I've thrown a tissue over the sensor on occasion. I hate when it switches off and on during dusk.
