When it's dark and you switch the headlights to the automatic setting, does the green LED near the switch flash? If so, then there's clearly a fault with the system and you probably need to have a dealer take a look at it (unless you want to throw a new light assembly at it to see if it fixes things...)

I had the same issue Eugene134 and they found the Motor to be burnt out on the headlight assembly, so certainly it was replaced with my extended warranty. Hope you have warranty still if not it might be costly
