Default HID Lighting Question

I normally keep my lights on Auto, however in the mornings.. 7-7:30 here in Florida it's fairly bright and sunny, yet my HIDS, don't switch to the Daytime running light look until much later in the day.. Are the lights setup up by a timer ( sunrise/Sunset) or is it the way the light truly hit the car that make them switch to Daytime running light mode... ( if so where is this sensor at?) just was wondering since it was so bright at 7am why they didn't switch to the other look...

Also why aren't the DRL switch position NOT as bright as, when they are in auto mode and the DRL come on...? ( is this adjusted with the laptop and cable)

Check the sensitivity setting in your MMI - believe that controls when the lights go on/off.

The sunlight sensor is on the dash, on the very front edge (near the windshield) in the center.
