Myth. Those light sensors are not for regular traffic, but for emergency vehicles. Emergency vehicles have a strobe light facing forward that flashes at a specific frequency and that is what trips the lights to change. There is no way that you would ever be able to flash your headlights fast enough to trip that sensor.
I have seen a couple of news reports of people being caught and fined for using devices to trip the lights though.
