Can you kindly do one final review of what I'm about to do based on this diagram I created?

Many thanks again Scott


* Headlamp control status after low-light is detected by sensor -> Relays switch pin 13 (tail) and 8 (Low) to GND:

Besides the sensitivity adjustment for rain/moisture detect in the sensor area, I can't find anything in the manual that mentions about sensitivity adjustment for ambient light unfortunately.


How the Rain Tracker Controls Headlamps
Really, really well. The Rain Tracker senses the ambient light level outside the vehicle, and turns
on the headlamps when it is dark, or when it is raining. Most US States require you to have your
headlamps on when it is raining, and it is simply a good idea.

Came here to report that the auto headlamp feature works! The same sensor detects both ambient light and rain that automatically triggers the headlights when it gets dark out and/or when it rains.

The system allows you to install 2 switches: 1 to bypass rain sensing (comes with the kit), and another switch you need to buy seperately to bypass the auto headlights and disable these features anytime.

Thanks again CTScott!
