I've not tried this, but wondered about putting something suitably transparent over the light sensor in the centre of the dash to kid the Civic into thinking it's darker than it is - therefore bringing the lights on earlier, and turning them off later.

Perhaps some testing is required with Quality Street/Roses wrappers?
My wife has them on her Ford and I must say they seem far better set up than the Civic... Yesterday morning for example mine went on and off several times on my way into work, so much I had to take control of them as the poor car in front must have been thinking I was flashing at him.

The hysteresis/time needs to be wider IMO...

Cheers,
