Automatic Headlight Sensors Are Not Sensing
I have automatic headlights and suddenly the sensor is not working. I have had to turn my headlights on and off manually. The Horror. I am curious if anyone else's MINI, and owner, has suffered this malady and if anyone knows the cure.

Mine do that but I'd prefer it to being under sensitive. My old car had automatic headlights and half the time I had to turn them on manually anyways. So far in the Mini I haven't had to turn them on manually at all and that includes in the fog. So happy about that.

Not referring to DRLs, but program them to do what? On mine they are controlled by the stalk, either auto, on or off. Are you saying there is a setting for Xenons to adjust how much/little light is required to get them to function automatically, once the stalk switch is in the auto position?

There is no sensitivity adjustment on mine either. There is for the auto wipers but not headlights.

I haven't felt the need to adjust the sensitivity yet, as mine work quite well. However, since the feature is available for the wipers, I'm surprised not to see it for the headlights as well. Especially with them using the same sensor.

Same here. Week 36 build '07 MCS.

The two features are listed as a single option on the order sheet. You can only get both at the same time. They might use the same actual sensor or separate ones, but they both use the additional module that is attached to the windshield in front of the rear view mirror.

The MINIUSA order sheet says the convenience package does include auto headlights, and the separate option lists auto headlights and auto wipers as being packaged together: http://motoringfile.com/wp-content/u..._packages2.pdf
