The lights are Off ... message 2005 4.2S
According to the handbook you would expect "The lights are off" message to only show when its dark enough to have the lights on.
Mine seems to show regardless of the amount of ambient light ... is it just encouraging daytime running lights?
Thank you

On my (UK specification) 2005 XK8 4.2-S with the autolights option, the message LIGHTS ARE OFF would appear if the rotary collar was set to OFF but the sensor determined the ambient light was low enough for the lights to have been switched ON if AUTO was selected.
It's simply there as a reminder because it's easy to forget to turn the lights ON if you're used to using AUTO and it's switched OFF.
If yours doesn't behave like this, suspect a faulty sensor.

Hey! Turn your Lights on.............
"Lights are Off" warning is to remind you to turn-on your Automatic Lights......It came on Today about 6:45PM here in Houston....and "yes" the little Light sensor is on the back of the Mirror.....Some people don't drive around with the Lights on "Automatic" all the time...Day before yesterday, the Warning came on and I turned over to Automatic and the Lights didn't come, as it was still to Light or Bright outside for the sensor to turn them on.....I was facing West.....Billy Clyde in Houston
