Ok, well mine is Jap spec and has and auto option on the switch which has a light sensor somewhere that turns the lights on and off automaticaly, nice feature when it was working
Hmmm. Interesting. Our Magmun didn't have auto lights, but it had a sensor.
I bought an auto switch from Dodge and replaced the existing switch with it. Then had auto lights.
Sorry, not helping at all. Just thinking 'out loud'.
When you find where the sensor is, pls post.

The sensor in the 100 series is a little black "nubbin" on the right side dash, near the windshield. When in auto, it turns on the daytime running lights (half powered high beam) and when it senses darkness it turns on the regular headlights, it also has auto-off when you turn the car off.

Maybe 'MOT' knows where the sensor is for the Japanese spec 80. You may want to try PMing him.
At least they are 'broken' on always, and not the alternative.

Don’t know if this will help or not, but on a US 97 40th the auto off works by opening the door. The lights come on with the key, no sensor that I know of. If yours is the same the problem may have something to do with the door switch or related circuits. I never liked this feature and discussed it in this old thread. It was so long ago I don’t know how I wired the timer now.

Opening the door does switch them off ,, Im talking about when the headlight switch is in auto mode its supposed to switch lights off in daylight but they stay on,, I then have to switch to manual mode-off,,,before I would always leave the light switch in auto mode and they would just do their own thing,, when i find out where the dark/light sensor is I can check for anything obvious.

I have a 94 jap inport the sensor is in the top right hand corner of the dash about 10 mm in diameter you may find it has un cliped its self and fallen behind the dash hence it thinks it is dark you need to take the clocks out to get to it and push it back up hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
