Change Sensitivity on Autolamps?

[Andrew Jensen]

2011 MKT. Wondering if anyone has a good way to change when Autolamps turn on? I'd prefer them to come on more often. Also, is there any indicator that shows when your headlamps are on/off? Thanks!

Our 2013 has an indicator on the dash that shows your light are on. Not sure if the older cluster shows it

Unless your dealer can adjust it, it cannot be done. BTW, when fog lights are turned on, you do not have auto high beams.
My '11 does NOT have any indicator of lights being on. (I use the car in front of me to see the reflection.)

Believe it or not but I've had my 2014 MKT since April 1st and haven't yet had an occasion to drive it at night. Unlike my previous 2011 Explorer, I now do have indicator lights on the dash to show which lights are on. Also, on mine, the fog lights are DRLs unlike my neighbour's 2013 MKS which uses the parking lights. Unlike the 1964 Cadillac I had, there doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the sensitivity of either the auto lamps or auto hi beams.
