Default Auto Headlight Sensor

I have auto headlights but I would like for them to turn on sooner than the factory setting. Is there any way to change it or where is the sensor so it can be covered and the headlights come on when the ignition is turned on.

It's that little bulb on the dash that flashes red right in front of the driver

I think it might work with a light coat. My lights come on under the car port.

Try pulling an old pair of sunglasses apart and put the lens over it.

I sprayed mine with that VHT Nightshade stuff. Did 3 coats and it worked awesome! My lights come on at the perfect time now!

Would a piece of electrical tape not be the quickest, and easiest route.

Only if you want your lights on all the time.
