hi,

I've never had cause to use them in these conditions, however, my lights drive me mad! They come on too early so half the time I turn them off. Any similar experiences?

Tomasz · Nov 15th, 2005, 02:28 PM

Mine aren't brilliant. They seem to come on when not needed when I first start the car, however they're slow to react if I drive through a tunnel or it gets dark/rainy etc

Mine seem to come on too early also, especially at this time of year when the sun is low. As soon as I go into some shade they tend to come on. Consequently I end up turning them off!

I agree they do seem to come on too early.

the one i had on test came on too early, but then you can leave them on with the ignition off without getting bonged

you can get your dealer to ajust the sensitivity of them best to do it when the car goes in for service, same goes for the auto wiper and Convinent opening and convinet closing but not sure if the closing one exists. its what im gona get done at my first service!

I find mine are too sensitive, and often just turn them off. They often come on when i first get in the car in the morning, when it is too light for the lights to be on. Also trees overhanging the roads turn them on unecessary

wedi_mynd · Nov 16th, 2005, 06:30 PM

Yep,

Same hapening on my 05 MCS, Come on too early. Annoying.

tnoy66 · Nov 16th, 2005, 07:55 PM

I've never tried mine

Jeenyus · Nov 16th, 2005, 10:17 PM

i'm sorry i think i did just address this issue... if there to sensitive take you and your car to your dealer and they can ajust it for you! i.e. more or less sensitive!
