Auto Headlights

Kashmoney · 10-03-2014, 10:34 AM

I left my cars lights on auto but for some reason the hids are on during the day not the halos. anyone know why? could it be a bad sensor in the windshield? if so how much to repair?

Is this something you just recently noticed or has it been behaving this way for some time. Even during the day, the sensor can turn on the lights depending on available natural light. I.e. hazy or cloudy day or even driving in shadow of buildings/etc.

Otherwise, I don't think I can point you in the right direction as to the possible cause.

The halos dim when the headlights are on with most models. Is it possible its too bright out to see them when they are on when dimmed in direct sunlight?

Is it throwing any errors?
