Question - when you set the headlights to "auto" are they supposed to come on every time you open the door?

Mine do, and I can't believe that is right. Did I screw up a setting in the MID?

Are you in a dark place, e.g. garage when you first open the door? It usually goes out after a few seconds, as noted on the lamp indicator once you're out in sunlight.

Yes, I was in the garage when I was playing with the settings. Thanks.

Still, I really don't want the headlights coming on every tiome I open the door.

I'm afraid it's one of those idiosyncrasies of the 07 ~ whenever the light sensor sensed darkness, it would turn the lights on automatically. But then again, it would turn itself off after a few seconds, if there's no action.

Try setting the delay for the lights to stay on after you turn the car off to 0. I think this will keep them from coming on when you open the door in a dark place. I know mine stopped doing it for a while and I think that is how I did it.

Not just an 07 attribute. My 04 will do the same thing.

Leave the headlight switch in "off" and they will not come on when you open the door.
