    depends what the daylight at the other side of the tunnel is like... low winter sun creates lots of shade, sensors take time & accurate measures of light to change.

    I can go through a bridge in town, they will come on and go out instantly.

    I have driven from Dark to morning sun, and they didnt go off even when the sun was shining right at them
    I think its as said above that there is a lot of shade, and not enough time to make a accurate measurement.

    Must be trying to findca fault when there isn't one.
    Never under stand though why other cars go straight off.

    One of them things then I guess.

    Mine are brilliant. Come on and off even as I go under bridges at speed on the motorway.

    Much better than the rain-sensitive-wipers, which are rubbish.

    Or you could always work them manually - it's not like your hand is far away...

    I've got them mate - but seeing as I usually run with my headlights on all the time anyway the whole system seems a bit pointless to me...

    Same with the auto-wipers - it really isn't a hardship to turn them on when it starts raining...
