OK... nudder newbie question...

The little black grille, about half an inch square, just to the right of the steering wheel on the dash.... Is that another temp sensor?

I thought the little dome next to the drivers side tweeter was the light sensor so that your high beam indicator comes on dimly at dusk, to tell you to turn your headlights on...

yeah I did think the little grate was the temperature sensor (there was no logic because it it was just an assumption).. your car tells you when to turn on your headlights? what year is yours? I don't even have that and I have to 3.2 premium

I have a 97 3.2TL...Canadian version. It's basically the premium version you guys get in the states, but ours come with daytime running lights, which run the high beams at very low power as soon as you start the car. Makes you A LOT more visible on the highways.

Other differences? block heater, heated seats and heated side mirrors are standard. No traction control, though (bummer)...
