Red face Am I suppose to have automatic headlights?

This is for a 99 Trans Am. I thought that all the OBDII's had headlights that come on automatically when its dark. I know that my camaro is OBDII and it has auto lights.

Re: Am I suppose to have automatic headlights?

My 94 Trans Am had automatic headlights.

They were a little to sensitive for me (would turn on in the shade, then off when you get to a sunny patch, then back on when your back in the shade..) So I bypassed the sensor.

My 97 Formula does not have them, either that or they just don't work.

Only 97 Camaro's have Automatic headlights... It was very shortlived (and somewhat annoying too)... I'm not sure about the Firebird family however...

my 99 Camaro has auto lights..I actually like it.

Did you buy your car used? Its a very common mod to disable them.
