Looks like auto-head light turning on and off.

My auto lights come on and off all the time. I had other cars and they were not this sensitive. Even if the sun is out and shining on the light meter on the dash it still takes them forever to go out. Anyone else?

It really doesn't help that in PA they put the inspection stickers right over the sensor when it says, do not cover the sensor.

You people aren't alone. See http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=799 I would like to somehow relocate mine someday, away from the pillar. Midday and you are heading west the sensor is covered by the pillar, lights are on regardless of the cloud cover.This message has been sent to Pontiac so hopefully they don't design any more cars this way. I doubt if there will be a retrofit from them.The lights do take some seconds to turn on and off, probably they would be switching constantly if there wasn't a delay. You would have them switch everytime you drove under an overpass or beside a building.
