Default Need help with Auto lights!

Guys can you help me pin point whats wrong? For some reason The auto lights feature is not working? I have to manually turn off and on my headlights lights now. The only mod i've done was replace stock DRL's with PIAA ones...Can that be causing this? HELP

I notice sometimes when i turn my car of my lights remain on, and i have to go back and click the lights from auto to off and then back again for them to go off. I guess if i waited longer they would go off by themselves.

i have my lights set on "auto". at work i had one of the mechanics plug the computer and he setup my lights to turn off 30 seconds after i press the lock button, if you press the lock button twice they turn off completly. try it to see if it works.
