i just set mine at auto and adjust it to turn off right aways when i step out and close the door.. so its easier!

 

I tired it today, If you do fast enough, low beam (head light) wont turn on.
Try it
If you get use to doing if fast, you should be fine

 

Auto doesn't work for a lot of people. My wife drives on a 15 mile section of road every day that is headlight manditory. While not a big issue, AUTO should be the last option on the controls, not the first.

 

Why not just turn off the car then switch the stalk?

 

Covering the sensor with tape is not going to solve the guys problem. That will just make the headlights want to stay on all the time when in the "auto" position. He wants them off in that position so they don't flash when he turns the switch to the "off" position. So, if anything, I think putting tape on the sensor will only make the problem worse.

Also, any manual is going to say not to flash the lights... that's basically generic. They were designed to be able to handle cycling. I wouldn't intentionally sit there flashing them on and off all the time, but they should be perfectly capable of handling some cycling. Is not like they are the cheapo lights you can get on eBay.

 

damn dude you sound like a women. Quit bitching, and deal with it.

 

Funny, and here I was thinking most women would probably prefer auto headlights. I mean, they already have so much to remember putting gas and oil in their car.

 

Wow, Mazaki, I didn't even realize this was an issue. I usually just leave it on auto and turn off the lights once the car is off from the stalk. What I really want control over is the fogs. They need to be on a separate switch! The glare from the headlights cancels out the benefit of the fogs. I agree with the other posts about the setup being ordered the wrong way: off, parking, on, auto or auto, off, parking, on. Did the engineers think we are all so lazy that we need auto in the first position?

 

Wire up a bright led and electrical tape it up against the sensor. Damn, I'm such a genius. Now quit cross-bitching and go eat some freakin' turkey!

 

LOL Covering the sensor will make AUTO position acts as ON. So you just move from OFF to AUTO when you need to turn on the headlight. What kind of idiot still switches it to ON after covering the sensor?

Proof?

 

Hahaha the kind of idiot that doesn't like ghetto rigging their car. But, I suppose there are those special idiots who don't mind rigging up a 40 thousand dollar car... however that is a separate issue. As for the info on the lights, go do some research. There are all sorts of technical articles about HID's and the different ways they can be designed out there. I'm not gonna do all the work for you lol

 

you can adjust the sensitivity via the screen. go to options and you will be able to find the setting that controls the Auto function.

 

the car was design like that because if you have it on "ON" when its still bright out and drive and when you turn it off when its still bright outside the auto won't turn on.

so when your wife turn on and pass thru places that have to have headlights when is done and turn off it shouldn't turn on if it is isn't dark out side anyways.

 

There should be a fuse # to pull out and solve the problem. I don't want daytime running lights at all, and I wonder if the 2008 G Sport will have the daytime running lights? I will surely turn them off by pulling a fuse. I don't have the car yet, so I don't know what this auto setting does, but it sounds like it sucks. I also can turn my own lights on and off.

 

Are you looking for 3 year old threads? dang

As for whether or not a g you intend to purchase at some point will or won't have drls depends on where you purchase it. If it is a canadian car, yes as drl is mandatory in Canada unless the vehicle was imported from the U.S. by someone else before you purchased it.
