I did a search, not helpful but someone might point me in the right direction.

The auto light sensor on my car seems to want to turn my lights on even when it's fairly bright.

Where is the sensor? Can I clean it? Can I reset it? Do I need a new one?

Thanks.

I went through this with my dealer non adjustable sensor etc etc Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I had the same problem last year around this time, mentioned it at the 1st service and the dealer changed a control unit (i think) that sorted it till about 2 weeks ago now it's started doing it again!!

another item to add to the list next time it goes in for service.... along with the parking sensor continues tone.

Thanks all! I feel so cheered up!

Funny that - mine is doing exactly the same for the third autumn/winter running. Started again about 2 weeks ago!
Not all that bothered considering there are so many other cars now running with daytime driving lights on.

Mine does it as well, so I use the manual override.......... the rotory light switch down to the right change it from 'auto' to 'off'

i used to turn them off but now i let them do what they want  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

This is the third car I've had with auto lights and they've all been a bit crazy. I do the same as Npinks and let them do what they want!!  Gone - TD4 XS Auto, Sumatra Black, Mud flaps and side strips, clear indicators, private plate, privacy glass

you can tell who the hen pecked married ones are.......something wrong....leave it be anything for a quiet life  

Maybe the time of year and weather in last few has something to do with it!!

Miraculously next spring they will probably come on less frequently! Lago Grey Ebony HSE auto, 19" alloys, privacy glass

My previous car was a Tangiers Orange (G4) Discovery II; in 20 (30k miles) months of owning my Stornoway Grey FL2, I have been run into twice (not in the dark!). I am therefore happy that the lights are a bit prone to early lighting and slow to switch off as I am less of a "stealth" car like that.

Let 'em do what they want! Gone... 2013 XS TD4 Manual Firenze Red
Gone... 2008 (09MY) XS Td4 Manual Stornaway Grey
Prior... 2003 G4 Discovery 2, 1998 Disco 1 and 1997 Disco 1 Company car before that
Also gone in Nov'13, after 7.5 yrs, to new owners with time for more TLC - 1980 Series III 88

Auto lights depend upon light level and light angle, if the sun is low (i.e. in winter) the lights will come on to improve visibility to other drivers even if the ambient light levels are relatively good.... clever LR

Mine seem to be confused by daytime fog as I often have to switch the lights on then but like the rest of you they seem to on all time in these winter days, sunny or not. Ralph
