Ok alll the dealer said to keep the headlights on auto and the sensor would take care of turning on the lights when needed. When not needed the small amber daytime running lights would be illuminated. The other day at dusk I was driving on I-65 in Kentucky on our weekend trip and two semi trucks honked at me about 2 miles from each other. I was concerned so when I got off an exit I inspected the car to see if I had any issues, i.e. a blown tail light, missing taillight lens, missing spoiler, etc...all the things that can happen, but I figured out that the headlights were not on and in my opinion they should have been. Have any others run into this issue, i.e. maybe the sensor is not sensitive enough or possibly too sensistive? My Jetta back in 2002 when on auto would have the headlights come on during early dusk, but the new outback seems to wait until later in the twilight

i found that the default setting did not come on soon enough so i changed the sensitivity on the sensor to the next level up in sensitivity and everything is perfect.... it's easy to change on the limited.. not sure about the premium model... it's all in your instuction manual.

Thanks-I will check that out. My wife reads the manuals and I listen! Im not as techie as she is
