Default A3 S Line Auto Headlights Over Sensitive

Hi

I have the A3 2011 S line and i find that my auto head lights are way to sensitive when the sun sets and its still very light outside i always find my headlights come on automaticaly and i feel they are way over sensitive is there a way i can easily adjust this ?

as i feel im wasting the life of my xenon bulbs and im guessing the genuine bulbs are not cheap to replace on this car

Don't have any experience with the auto head light feature. Do you know where the light sensor might be? Any chance it is dirty or you have partially blocked it accidentally?

Light sensor is located behind the rear view mirror on the windshield. If you look straight at the rear view mirror "arm" from the outside you should see it.

I just had to replace 2 bulbs on my s4 with D3s bulbs which are xenon gas bulbs and they run 80 bucks each (Amazon). Luckily replacement wasn't too bad on the s4 but I heard on other Audi models it can be a nightmare (up to the point where have to remove the entire bumper and what not).
