I have a 2011 G37X and the owner's manual tells you not to turn on the headlights for short periods of time.

I keep the headlights on automatic all the time. Even in normal daylight, the sensor turns on the headlights each time I pull into the garage and the headlights stay on for about 5 minutes.

Is there some way to add a delay between when the sensors senses darkness and the headlights actually turn on?

Thanks.

No way I know of, just have to turn them off of auto for in and out of the garage.

You wouldn't want it delayed incase of driving into a dark place and suddenly needing them.

Yes there is...Look at the 2011 Owner's manual, page 4-17 (sedan, assuming that's what you have). You can adjust the light sensitivity and the light off delay from the Settings/Comfort menu. If you don't have online access to an owner's manual you can either go to infinitiusa.com and get it via the Owners link or you can select the appropriate page below:

Believe he's looking for a light-on delay though. Garage is going to be too dark to adjust them to not come on as well.
