erf, no BFH to da loca's baby, please! ... but if you can have a look at it and compare it to yours, that would be kewl.

We'll see if your car or my car acts the same as Julian's....

Joe, thanks for the TSB... we'll see who will need it!

 

Update... just called the dealer to cancel Monday's appointment. I spoke to a tech and asked him about the dimmer switch. He said that it works like this:

With "auto lights" on ON during night time - should be able to adjust dimmer.
With "auto lights" on ON during daytime - should NOT be able to adjust dimmer.

With "auto lights" on OFF (manual mode) - should be able to adjust dimmer.

This is how mine is operating right now, so no need to get anything fixed for now! *phew*

 

Just in case it does not, or if something else is goofy, I still have the BFH!!!!!

 

...*mental note*... have hubby distract erf tomorrow night... and hide that BFH!!

 

Hey, I had a similar experience on my HHR. Last week, I left work going home about 08:00 very sunny, bright, no clouds, so I had to put my shades on. No backlights. Never noticed that before. I work nights all the time soo morning travel is routine. I drove about 30 miles before the lights came on, I figured the photocell was going bad. I tried the manual setting and couldn't get the lights to brighten. They would adjust up and down, but not as bright as they normally do. Sunshades off I could see they were clearly in the night time mode. Manual setting wouldn't change it. So for several mornings I would watch to see how it reacted. This morning I noticed they stayed off(Dim) until the sun actually shined on the photocell for about 30 seconds. Then wow, there was the lights. Sunshiny morning again, but 1 hour later due to daylight savings time change. Anyway, I through my hat over the Photocell and whoosh, back to dim again after about 30 seconds again. I drove for a bit, then pulled the hat off and about 30 seconds, poof, Lights again. Guess the sun has to have a certain brightness to operate the photocell.
After reading the SB on this, I suppose I may have a small problem with when I feel I need to turn them on, but from reading this, it seems to be normal. I thought I was the only one noticing this situation, thanks for bringing it up, I guess I wasn't imagining things after all.

 

Well, should yours ever starts acting up, erf2u can bring over his BFH..
