Video tutorial

In this video we see how to set the sensitivity of the automatic headlights on a BMW 3 Series E90 version: we will have to use the lever of the left indicator to go to the settings, then scrolling down we will find the adjustment for the automatic lights.

From here we can choose the sensitivity of the light sensor, in order to switch from the Halo ring to the Xenon lights.

In the example we see on the display, we see that they have set the lowest sensitivity, which means that it must be very dark before the lights switch to Xenon; there are three possible sensitivities to choose from, each a little more sensitive to light.
