Auto headlight sensor
Gordy- the 5 trucks that were mentioned had 1=fast set at factory. That's why we noticed a change were you wouldn't since sensor response was already set on 0=slow.
One less thing to change.
Edit- Don't why some are set on slow or fast. The 5 trucks were: XLT, Lariats, KR, Patty

Considering the sensor is based off the windshield (best seat in the house) and you're not foolish enough to run 35% on your windshield - We'll have to chalk this up to being the sensor is just calibrated differently or your situation is different.
End of the day. Who cares.

I have 35% on my windshield, when they install they map it, measure and cut on the outside than remove and install on the inside, the tint doesn’t cover the sensor, which as you stated is located on the mirror. Nothing foolish about it, it’s a nice improvement and it looks sharp

I have everything except Raptors to compare to. No pattern what so ever.
What is an Ambient Temp/Speed Pack?? The AsBuilts seem to correlate to whether they have this--So far.

I had 15 early 2015's that were built in 2014, 1 had the headlight delay turned on, the other 14 were off, yet I had 15 2018's, all of them had it turned on, they are XL and XLT's, two are Lariats.

I looked at that, I don't have it. The other side of this is AsBuilts aren't always accurate either. It shows my truck as not having a locking rear axle, yet I have it.

The only thing that is known is 0= slow adds 13 sec. delay. to the ones set on 1=fast.

mine does the same thing. lights cut on anytime the dash is in the shade. doesn't have to be under a bridge or anything. it does it when the sun is behind the truck and not shinning directly on the dash.
the system in my 17 year old toyota worked much better. annoying. ive never had the lights cut off though...only on when they don't need to.

This happens to me in the middle of the day with the sun at its brightest point. If the dash is in the shade, the lights activate. Way too sensitive.
Welcome to the forum dock- Check and see if your sensor is set on 1=fast or 0=slow. Check your truck AsBuilt data or if you do FORScan check the values with #9 post.
