Default Lights

I have 2007 GX 470 and recently I noticed that head lights are running during the day light time and it is set up for Auto Lights (I own this car for the past 5 years and it was never an issue). Is there any quick fix or...?

Thank you

Did you check the sensor on the dash? Is it dirty? Do you have something covering it maybe?

The light sensor is on top of the dash, on the steering wheel side. You can see it through the windshield -- it's a small red dome.

If the sensor surface is clean, the operating parameters of the sensor may have shifted a bit. The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted by the dealer or via TechStream. I wonder if repeated use of something like Armor All would block enough light to affect the sensor??? A light scrub with tooth paste on a Kleenex might help.
