What does the sunlight sensor have? I disconnected it and lost it. How will it affect the system?
Can it be removed? Because right now it's not worn and there are no problems.

Your interior/exterior lights probably won't automatically turn on anymore when it gets dark.

Zeffy94 is correct, your AUTO headlight function will no longer work. That being said, I don't know if they will default to on or off when in AUTO position now without the sensor.

Also the HVAC won't work right either, it relies on sunlight data to know to cool more or less.

It also triggers the day/night lighting mode of the dashboard and entertainment system.
