Just bought a 1996 RS Four V it has the Auto lights... with the light sensor on the dashboard (drivers side) and since the car has a turbo timer, the auto-off when you leave the car does not work... which sucks cause otherwise I would use the auto lights...
They do turn on and off a bit if you're going through the trees etc, and start on park/driving lights when it's not really dark...
would be good if the turbo timer (which I might disable anyway) didn't screw with that circuit...
The car manual (aftermarket translated one) I have says they are meant to turn off when you leave the car...
just my 2 cents
