Auto Lights - When Are Yours On?

[harmeetsingh]

Hey all,

Quick question...when do your auto lights seem to be on? Mine seem to be on from around 7pm which seems pretty light for them to be on at the moment being the peak of summer!

Any ideas?

Best Regards. H

If the IS250 is anything like the IS200 there is a small amount of adjustability with the auto headlights to make them come on a little earlier or a little later......hopefully someone else can confirm :)

Hmmmm it just seens 7pm is broad daylight still so not sure if something is wrong?!

It's worth gettng it checked out, mine seem to come on around 8pm at the mo on the typical clear sunny day - but as I say it could just need a little bit of tweaking to make it come on later which hopefully one of the other IS250 owners can confirm.

In that case that probably sounds very similar to mine...it was probably closer to 7:30pm - will do a check tonight and post back the results.

Thanks for your help mate!

Don't know about the IS250, but when I had my IS200s I had them altered by the stealership. Unfortunately it needs re-doing when Battery is diconnected or they flash the memory at a service. I had to provide them instructions off the www.

Having seen this thread the other day, I did a test tonight on my way back down the M1 from Yorkshire. My car’s an old model IS300, but the results might be useful. The auto lights came on at 2044, which was about 20 minutes earlier than I would have switched them on myself. The sat nav screen dimmed into night mode at 2137. (It was a very boring run down the motorway and yes, I did have nothing better to do!).

has anybody got the step by step on how to setup the time delay for a is200/300?

-dont really want to go to stealership

Ah I think my lights were just having an off day. Seem to be working nicely now. Seem to come on around the 8:30 mark depending how overcast it is really, so seems in accordance with everyone elses!

Thanks all!

You can't do the IS200 yourself, it involves plugging onto the OBD2 port.
