Ability to Adjust Auto Headlamp Sensitivity?

Anyone know of a way to adjust the sensitivity of our auto headlamps?

Mine turn on very often when there’s a lot of light out.

Thanks.

Search. I had the same question a while back and a few people explained the reasoning to me.

Dealer can adjust the sensitivity slightly.

Unit looks at UV light, not visible light, so may turn on even with quite a bit of visible light around, especially in winter time with the sun low to the horizon.
