new g35 owner xenon headlight question?

This feature is an option, not all g35 have it. If the headlight stalk says AUTO on it then the lights will come on automatically when it's dark and go off when it's light or 45 seconds after turning the car off.
To the op. The daytime running lights are required by funny Canadian law. They high beams run at 40% power when the lights are off and parking brake not set. When you turn the headlights on, the highs go off and the low beam hid come on 100%. unsure if this is what you are seeing

Now that you've polished them and they look good, you'll need to seal them with an excellent sealant, such as Collinite 845, or a clear bra cover. I use this sealant, which is also an exceptional car sealant-- leaves a brilliant. extremely durable shine.
By the way, I use toothpaste, about 1 teaspoon per lens, and gently rub it in with a moist terry cloth. It takes about 1 minute per lens. Then the residue is washed off thoroughly and dried with a micro-fiber towel. The outcome is the same, in my view, as using the more expensive lens cleaning products.
By the way, congrats on our purchase and welcome to the forum.

I'm not sure, but I think there might be 2 light sensors. One on the dash and one on the back of the mirror. (I know there is one on the back of the mirror for the auto-dim feature but maybe it serves a dual purpose) I've messed around with trying to get my auto lights to turn on and didn't have luck with just the dash sensor.
Also this past weekend I noticed while trying to get through Chicago in daylight (traffic was horrible) Every time I went under an overpass while there was somebody in front of me, my lights would turn on and as soon as we got out from under the overpass they turned off. Another instance where I was going under an overpass and there was nobody in front of me my lights didn't turn on. So maybe the 2 sensors help keep the lights from turning on and off a lot during these driving conditions (with a normal driving speed that is, I was only going about 2-10 mph)

Mine come on when it's dark. ANy overpass i go under that's dark..they come on. If the sun gets low enough in the sky, they sometimes come on if i'm behind a tree. Pretty consistent really.
A lot of times in those low light situtations, i run with my parking lights on. I know i go against the grain here, but i love amber lights at dusk. Why i still have my amber corners...i prefer them.
