OK, so it appears that when I switch the headlights to the "A" position, they are in the mode to "follow the rode", but they only come on when they think it is needed (ie, not on winding roads or in fog). Is there a way to have them manually switched on, and "follow the road"?

TIA

Nope.

(Ironically, many of us have an issue where the automatic lights come on in broad daylight so for us, this isn't an issue!)

My wife's 545 had the Autolights coming on a lot, during the day, especially this winter. We had the dealer program the lights to the "More Sensative Setting" which actually allows the lights to stay off more and used only when really needed.

I didn't realize the tracking of the lights only worked in A mode. Will have to try that this evening.

Good Information.

or try cleaning the top part of the windshield, the light sensor housing is located behind the mirror.
i find sensitivity changes between car washes.

More sensitive, less sensitive, etc. still didn't solve my problem. It's a well known bug that the auto headlights don't work reliably.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the next CIP version will take care of me...

Actually yes there is. At the cost of starting a dispute, the fog light button also acts as an override to force on the headlights when in auto mode. As of CIP 16.1 my auto headlight sensor is greatly improved.

Rudy

Well there you go then! I rarely use my fog lights so I never knew you could override the automatic setting...

GOOD BOY!

The dealer just replaced my light control module because of the always on feature, seems to work just as its supposed to now. 16.2 was the reason for the change it would not take it unless they replaced the lcm.
