Automatic headlights? Confused about something...
Perhaps this has been brought up before, so excuse me if it's a repost. I'm confused; my 2006 Touring clearly doesn't have auto lights. Which is fine and all, (albeit weird because my 2001 Maxima had them standard), but why does it have the light sensors present on top of the dash? It makes no sense.
Do Grand Touring models have auto lights?

No, I mean light sensitive automatic lights. For instance, when you turn the stalk to auto on the FX it'll turn the lights on and off automatically all depending on how much light is outside. It's a little unusual to not have it in a 2006 model car, where as a 2001 Maxima had it standard.
Furthermore, I don't know what the top of a 03-05 dash looks like, but the 2006 actually has the sensors mounted inside - the same light sensors that are also present in my FX. So for the car to not have automatic headlights is very confusing.
Btw, you can adjust the length the headlights remain lit via Consult II tool. I'm going to have a friend set it to 30 seconds next week.

They sell automatic light sensing headlight relays for like $30-$50.
I had this feauture on my Celica and it was kinda neat, but I like the idea of having more control over the headlights, in case I want to move like, a few feet at night with only my parking lights on, etc.
Im a loser indeed...

The sensor is for the dash lights. Just go in a tunnel and you will see your dash light come on. I wish the lights came on too. But.....oh well.
