My headlamps seem to be coming on too early the past few days as it's still quite bright out. I just had my car tinted, but the headlamp sensor is on the backside of the rearview/windshield right? Is there anyway to adjust the sensitivity of the auto on? Could I have a bad sensor?

Read that section in your manual.
They are supposed to come on under certian circumstances.
