You should only use your sand lights when it's sandy out -- right Iceman?

Tell your dealer to set the sensivity correct from "sand" to "normal".

If anybody cares, my lights work flawlessly. I run them in automatic mode most of the time except for the few occasions when I run with just angel eyes. They come on when it is cloudy and rainy and before sunset. After good sunrise, they go off. Since I don't leave my keys in the car (afraid someone could get in the garage and take off with it) I don't have the problems that Rudy has with automatic setting.
I like the lights as they are. They work like they are supposed to. I have no idea what the dealer setting is.

The dealers are confused over the nomenclature.
(I knew that word was going to come in hand one day JDN!
)
They recon sensitive means the lights come on earlier. Had a hard time explaing that the thing is a LIGHT sensor, not a DARKNESS sensor.
Still doesn't work right though IMHO.
