When I purchased my H2, the previous owner (who lived in FL) had tinted the front windshield. I had owned the truck for about a week before I noticed it when driving at dusk.
It's only 35% tint which is legal here in NC but I've never had a vehicle with a tinted windshield.
Point is, the tint is enough to block the sun from allowing the sensor to differentiate between daytime and evening.
I think in the BRIGHT sunlight in the middle of the day, it'll work but at 8-9am this morning, it couldn't tell the difference and wouldn't shut the lights off until I held a flashlight right on the sensor.
Not a big deal, just never came across that problem before. I thought I had hooked up the wire incorrectly.
Wierd.

I don't even have my windshield tinted and it does it sometimes up till around 8 in the morning. Granted, the sides are at 50%, but I don't believe that should have any effect.
