One important step not mentioned in these posts. If the lights come on again while standing and you want them back off, you will need to _wait_ for the delay off cycle to turn them off, after shutting off the ignition, (or pull the owners manual to find out the override-off procedure, but by then they will be off on their own). THEN, after the delay off, restart your car with the parking brake set to keep the lights off. Now, isn't that procedure just so intuitive and convenient?! :-)
Curious, which Buick model do you have? Some model GMs with auto-light control do not typically turn the lights on when its raining, snowing or foggy during the day. Some models seem to be tied into the wipers so they do, but not all are. You may find that in many cases (like daytime fog situations) you might likely still need to manually turn your lights on to comply with many state vehicle lighting laws (all lights required in fog for example). Also, be careful that the auto system doesn't start with the lights on on a foggy morning when leaving your home only to turn them off without you noticing (when they shouldn't) at some point before arriving at your destination. Don't rely 100% on the auto feature, in other words, it isn't reliable on many models (except for night only use). _Always_ use the manual switch to turn the lights on no matter what when you need lights for daytime inclement weather, limited sight distance situations or any other state law mandated situations (construction zones in some states).
Hope that helps...
