I never liked the auto setting on the head lights.
I keep mine in manual.
IMO the auto setting on my 2003 Saturn ION is way better.
The 370Z's is way too sensitive, stays on way too long if triggered by a shadow and doesn't turn the lights on when the windshield wipers are on.
In my Saturn Ion if I have the windshield wipers on for more than 30 second the headlights come on (if in auto) and turn off about a minute after the wipers have been turned off.
It is always good idea to turn on your lights when it is raining and in some states (like VA where I live) you are required to turn on your lights if you are using your wipers (other than to clean your windshield).
I could live with the high sensitivity but once I figured out that the auto function wasn't linked to the wipers I stopped using the auto mode and never looked back.
Just my
