Thanks Gents. I know this was an obvious way of mechanically changing the outcome but I was fishing to see if there was an electronic way...Well after reading the above posts, I think the one with any direction to your problem is Voodoo V6 who suggests reducing the initial light entry to the sensor by placing some window tint over it. This would reduce the light further in a darker situation, triggering the head lights earlier.
What you experts think?
Anyways, my missus has a glass bowl full of these light blue balls (not mine:rofl2 which are about 12mm in diameter. The balls are actually hollow and made of soft plastic. I stole one and sliced it in half. This fit over the VE light sensor like a glove.
It works, lights now turn on when a cloud covers the sun. I need to find balls with less tint which to the eye will almost be clear:blah blah:
As for the comment about VE's being popular with their issues;
I personally don't think their any worse than the others. The more crap you put into them the more problems you will produce. I work in the aircraft industry and its the same (although aircraft have redundancy built in case of failure).
