sensor with the little red light for the alarm) if you don't have this sensor the switch will not know when to turn on when it gets dark. Some SE cars have the electrical connection taped to the dash under the top cover so all you need to do is get the sensor and light switch and install them. To see if you have the connection for the light sensor you have to pry up the top I.P cover closest to the front window , then you will see a hole in the middle of the I.P ,if you have wires coming out and taped down you only need to plug in the sensor ,screw it down and cut the hole in the top cover for it to stick through. good luck."
