Default headlight auto mode

Do are durangos or alteast slt+ models have it, where when it gets dark enough the headlights automatically turn on? Im to afraid to try and get pulled over. I also just found out the other day about the 60sec delay for the lights to turn off when the key is out, i though the switch for the headlights was bad or something.

do your durango has the light sensor on top the dashboard? my dak has auto lights and has a sensor in the center of the dash by the windshield. if it does cover it and see if the lights turn on or not !!!

My 01 doesn't have that and it's an SLT too. I knew about the 60 second delay after shutoff but nope. No auto lights for thie SLT.
