Default Headlights go on when dark

Can anyone help? I bought a 94 pologreen/tan vert, it was orig bought in Canada the headlights go on ALL the time....when I go under an overpass or in tree shade. Is there a by pass ( like CAGS) I believe I heard of one on this forum but I can't remember! Thanks

The head lights pop up and on? :confused: Was this even an option? Sounds like somthing aftermarket. It is the head lights and not the running lights correct.

Not the running lights I believe it does have to do with the laws in Canada.

They are supposed to work that way. It does sound like the light sensor may be too sensitive though........the one on the top of the dash board. They should not go on and off while going under an underpass. While idleing in the garage or something mine takes about 30 seconds before they flip up. Likewise when I back out into the driveway. Sorry but I don't know if/how it can be adjusted.
