Default Ambient headlight sensor

So I see lots of posts about disabling the auto-headlight function. I'm probably in the minority that actually likes this feature. The problem with mine is it seems to be turning lights on way past when it should at dusk and turning them off way before it should at daybreak. Has anybody else sen this?

I haven't seen this. I guess the sensor could be going out. But then again, one one think it would fail in a way that would make the headlights come on too early as it gets dark rather than too late.

That was my thought. I think they are only $15 or so. May change it just to see.
