There are definitely two sensor types.

The G399 (LS) and G397 (RLS)

Pictures of the light sensor are below.





The cable that you can buy for the RLS to plug into the roof control ECU actually only comes with the plug end for the light sensor and you have to order an adapter to repin it for the RLS.

PF cars only have coding allowances for the LS. To get round this, you have to get a newer (G or later) Central Convenience module which is plug and play,
And extend the data wire from the RLS to the wire for the wiper speed sensor down near the Central Conv module. That is what I have done and it all works as factory once the coding is changed. Naturally the headlight switch must also change.

Almost zero PF cars in AUS have the LS option as it was in the book as "coming home/leaving home light control" and no one ticked it as no one knew what it was.
