This is sort of a stupid question - but for ES350's with NAVI, you can customize some settings yourself under Setup -> Vehicle -> Vehicle Customization.

One of the choices is Light Sensitivity, which alters how sensitive the Automatic headlights are.

But - I'm not sure - if I want to make the headlights less sensitive, does the setting go up or down?

That is - if I want the automatic headlights to turn on less frequently (right now they seem to turn on unless it is clear and sunny - even on partly cloudy days it will sometimes turn the headlights on) - do I turn it up or down?

The PDF from Lexus describes this as (http://www.lexus.com/pdf/service/ES_with_nav_LPS.pdf ):

Light Sensor Sensitivity
When driving the vehicle, the front headlights can be programmed to turn ON under darker
or lighter ambient light conditions. (Headlight switch must be in “AUTO” mode):
So I thought that turning it down would make the headlights less sensitive to light, but it didn't seem to work that way. Actually - I tried both directions and it didn't seem to make any difference.

Just curious what others thought.

If you want the lights to come on less frequently you'll want to choose the Very Dark setting.
