2013 Z LED Strip issue on "auto mode"
 
So it seems that my led strips dont turn on with my light action in the auto position. If i turn it into the off position the led strips come on and my headlights go off. When i first got the car i would just leave it in auto and durin the day the led would come on and after around 6 or 7 or however the car knows it turned it over the the headlights. Now it wont, any ideas?

....you mean the LEDs go off when the headlights go on?

Its supposed to be like that, the LEDs are daytime running light, obviously when the headlights go on, its not "day time" any more.

No. When you turn your lights on you have a couple choices, The off point, Auto, Highbeam, and ect. When i put it on "off" the headlights turn off and the LED turns on but at night time obviously the headlights dont turn on b/c its on the off position. During the daytime If i have my light position on auto during the day the led should come on right? but nope i get my headlights. Maybe a sensor issue or maybe electrical issue? Any CLue?

Okay I see what you're saying, I don't know what to tell you, it never happened to me.

I have the lights on Auto all the time, the only time the LED turns off and the headlights turn on during the day is when I roll in the garage (...which can be a little annoying)

2013 here, just over two months since purchase new. No issue to report. DRL's operate on Auto correctly.

you do know there's a light sensor that clicks the lights over right? the DRL's and headlights will not be on at the same time unless you rewire them to do so, or put the DRLs on a toggle

Minsu 10-21-2013 11:37 AM

I know, I dont want them on at the same time. Im saying on auto mode it doesnt click over....

Put it on Drive and then put it on park.

Cuz if you just turn on your car and walk outside to check them out, i think they'll be turned off.

Minsu 10-21-2013 11:59 AM

mm i drive 6m so i dont have drive or park haha.

I dont think they turn on if parking brake is up.

Haboob 10-21-2013 06:05 PM

Nope, in auto during the day (not in tunnels) my DRLs are one and that's it. When it's dark or I'm in a tunnel for an extended period of time.

If you put the parking brake down, they will come on and stay on until you turn the headlights on or car off (even if you put the parking brake back up).

Ahh, don't put it auto mode ;)
