Re: Lights
Check the sensor on the windscreen in front of the mirror mount against the windscreen itself (best viewed from outside). It may have failed and isn’t sending a low light signal to the car light control module. It could also be that if the ‘sensor window’ fogs up that may have confused the system.

Re: Lights
Is the battery ok could be a battery saving thing and it's getting that time of the year for batteries to start to fail.
That's my best thought.

Thanks, gave the windscreen a good clean and it seems fine so hopefully alls ok
Re: Lights
Can be very sensitive to the dust/dirt on the screen (as you’ve appeared to have seen) bit otherwise as Richard states could the sensor itself playing up.
