I think the "delay" is how long they stay on after you exit the car, not how long they wait to come on after sensing a low light level.

Now, a setting that controls the time your approach lights are on makes sense, but not how long headlights are on AFTER the car is shut-off and you've exited the car, right?
Just my $.02. BTW, anybody check it out, yet? I'm stuck on this forum at the moment.

This is an option that my engineering brain just doesn't get. Some folks won't turn on thier lights when they shoud - reason for it. Some folks get so used to it that they forget to turn on thier lights in a rental car...thats a problem. I set the climate control for the tem I want, so I think I am capable for turning on lights. Maybe I am just off line on this one.

and hate to bring it up again, but it is illegal to drive w/o headlamps on at night, even if foggy.
most "fog" lamps arent fog lamps at all anyway, more of auxillary driving lamps which these are. hate to burst our bubble on "knowing what is legal and not".

Yes, that's what it's for. I never think about that, but I know a lot of women who like that feature for that purpose.

I use mine. I am not worried about the wear to the gear. It is quick, easy, and inexpensive to fix IF it ever needs to be done. I like the convenience of not having to think about it. The only time I ever disable it is when I am at the drag races. They provide the wrong kind of "drag".
