Data Point:
My 06 has factory HIDs. I leave autolamp on all the time. I park in a garage, so they come on briefly every morning (at least). They are also usually on before I make it home every day.
77K+ miles and so far no problems. I think that people worry too much sometimes.
The only time I use autolamps is when I get home. And just for the delay so I have some light in the garage so I don't trip over a tool/wheel/wild animal/etc.
The lights in my garage are motion sensor controlled.
In my case, it is part of an elaborate home automation system, but you could accomplish the same thing with a $20 motion sensing light switch.
