Default Auto Headlight sensitivity adjustment ?

Is there an adjustment for the Auto Headlight sensitivity for my 2021 RX350 Lux with tri beams? The auto headlights are way to sensitive. They consistently go to high and low and then high with the slightest street light or similar. It's annoying for me and I'm sure oncoming traffic. Our Kia was 1000 times better.

There is some adjustment, but can't remember what, I think it's when the lights should dim or go back to high (sec or min)

Page 194 of the 2020 Owner's Manual says the sensor sensitivity can be temporarily lowered. I don't know of a way to make it permanent.

your saying with the auto brights , or when they come on and off automatically based on if it s dark.
if when they come on, dusk, dawn, that type, yes there is a setting for that to adjust sensitivity of it, (or there was and is on mine)

if the auto brights, not sure. mine seems to work very well. I have the same triple beam headlights as well.

I am talking about the auto brights. They can't make up their mind on my car. Way to sensitive.

The 2017's actually have different triple beam headlights than the revised 2020+ units.

got ya, well, good luck!!
you could turn the auto off if it doesn't meet your standards and use them manually, I'm sure your revised model has a button like my old model does.
