    Default Auto-lights on a GenII MPS Luxury

    Strangely enough, I have found that it needs to be basically broad daylight to have my auto lights switch off. Example is that I will drive from WPHills along the M2 to North Ryde at about 7-7:30am, and the whole trip, they will stay on. The bright part of the day, they will switch off.

    Anyone experience or tried this?

    If I could find it I'd cover the sensor. Have them full time.

    Boss: Okay, I mean, we can see your bulge.
    Dale: Okay, first of all, they're extremely comfortable. And second of all, at this point in your life, if you haven't seen a bulge, well, I just feel sorry for you.

    On my Gen I the lights turn on and off going in and out of the harbour tunel. Takes a few seconds though.

    I find the same however I figured it's also got something to do with the time of day. That is earlier in the morning or late in the afternoon with only moderate to decent light, the headlights will come on and stay on. During the middle of the day, as soon as I exit a garage, the headlights go straight off. At least that's my uneducated theory

    Not sure about the Gen2...but the Gen1 also has the button to change dash lights from night to day.

    My lights are usually always on...day and night....i have auto lights and cover the sensor.

    During the day....i tap the button and the dash appears all bright in orange....later in day....i tap button again...lights change to blue.

    Does the Gen2 not have this feature

    Happy Motoring

    Yeah we do - you tap the instrument panel light dimmer and it changes the sat nav back to white and brightens the dash lights

    Out of interest, has anyone asked Mazda to adjust the Auto light sensitivity? My old VY Commode had auto light sensitivity adjustment, as does VW/Audi etc which is accessed through the CAN/OBDII port
