Default Headlight auto mode fail
Hi
I own is 250 07, when the headlight switch is in "auto mode" the headlight is always on no matter if it's day or night.
When I switch it to "Manuel mode"(on/off) it work fine.
Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Thank you

Must be your ambient/automatic headlight sensor gone bad is my best guess

Is the dash cover covering the light sensor that controls your headlights?
