Mine does the same, they come on at times I'd not expect, but it's been the same on all cars I've had, be they BMW, Audi or the RRS.

It's actually intentional. Most manufacturers set auto lights to come on when you are traveling away from bright light (I.e the sun is directly behind you) as it means that the drivers driving towards you (into the sun) can see you. I have no idea how this is achieved as the light sensor is at the top/middle of the screen as far as I'm aware? James ![]() |

IIRR Bobby posted something explaining this issue before. The system also takes the angle of the sun (ie low in Winter) to decide when to operate. Now - MY11 RRS Autobiography TDV6, Orkney gray, tints, steps, daylight running lamps and allllll the toys!!!

Could well be connected to the mirror but I also seem to remember its main sensor is that plastic dome thing at the front of the dash Now - MY11 RRS Autobiography TDV6, Orkney gray, tints, steps, daylight running lamps and allllll the toys!!!

RRSBoy - Er no.... One set of lights are designed to come on and the other are designed not to come on.....
