Automatic headlights won’t turn off after exiting parking lot

Headlights won’t turn off even during daylight. Anyone experienced this issue? Where is the light sensor located?

Are you sure the stalk is in automatic mode? If the answer is yes, go into your infotainment system, then vehicle, then customize vehicle options, then lights settings, and make sure the dim sensitivity is in the middle, as well as verifying that any other headlight setting is selected to your preference.

It looks to be behind the rearview mirror on my IS 250. It could also be in the middle of the dash right by the windshield but I think that might just be a speaker.
