    Hey guys just another quick question,

    With my car its got a feature that automatically switch the headlights on and off with the light brightness outside, Im interested in where abouts i would find this sensor just out of curiosity, would it be somewhere in the dash cluster (Thats my guess) or is it hidden outside of the car somewhere?

    Thanks again guys.

    Because that's one of the best spots to put it as GPS work's better with clear sight of the sky. Wonder how many other car's he's done that to....
