Any trouble with light sensor to turn xenons on?

Buckman · 06-26-2007, 09:59 PM

Seems my xenons have been on during the day the past couple weeks when it should just be the daytime running lights (when on automatic). Could it be a faultly light sensor, so that now my xenons are coming on during the day? I don't think your US cars are rigged the same - not sure what states have daytime running lights.
Anyone ever had a problem with the automatic feature for their lights?

My old e46 has them and so does the new 335i. On the 335i I can program them myself through I-Drive. I think you are right there might be a problem. I saw someone with a similar "feature" in Germany, and was not sure if something was wrong or thats the way the car worked. It was a 335d, the xenons were on in broad daylight, and his other lights were obviously off. I then thought maybe it was a Euro thing, but did I miss something?
