Ability to Adjust Auto Headlamp Sensitivity?

Anyone know of a way to adjust the sensitivity of our auto headlamps?

Mine turn on very often when there’s a lot of light out.

Thanks.

Since the lamps are tied to a life safety concern, bmw took its usual uber conservative approach.

The system can toggle between day and night quickly.

Dealer can adjust the sensitivity slightly.

Unit looks at UV light, not visible light, so may turn on even with quite a bit of visible light around, especially in winter time with the sun low to the horizon.
