I battled with Vauxhall for almost 2 yrs over it. I gave up in the end as I was getting nowhere & although others were complaining on forums about it not many would go to vauxhall and complain.
I spent hours getting video footage with a lux meter fitted to the windscreen etc, even got an independent report done (on the say so of vauxhall) that report said either the senor is at fault or there is a software issue. Vauxhall's response that report was "It's worthless as they are not a Vauxhall trained technician."

They just said the lights are working as they should and when the sensor gets a super high burst of sunlight it doesn't know what to do so for safety reason's the lights remain on.
Now this is baffling as surely they have to set the lux setting that will make lights come on/off so it's not hard to work it out & issue an update.
Lux readings for the UK.
• A dull day is 1,000 Lux (so this means the lights will be on).
• Natural daylight is 10,000-25,000 Lux (so this means the lights should be off).
• Natural Daylight in shade is 20,000 Lux (so again the lights should be off).
• Bright sunlight is 110,000 Lux (so again the lights should be off).
• Brightest sunshine is 120,000 Lux (so again the lights should be off).
I assume i'll just have to suck it up then. Oh well
