I got these new lights from Philips from the 'mygarden' category that have these motion sensors on them, the only problem is these motion sensors are absolute garbage. I tried to disable the motion sensors but failed hard. I am NOT an electrician nor do i have any experience is that area. I've included some pictures, any help is very appreciated. Thank you

Who wired up the lights? Are they connected to a switch inside? The reason I ask is, if there is no switch and you bypass the motion sensor then the light might be on permanently...
 
why are the sensors garbage? philips gear is usually OK.
They are not garbage. They work as advertised.
they are just a bit too sensitive, they go off with the slightest movement, and because i installed them in my room sometimes i don't want the lights going off when I'm on the computer.

why install outside PIR lights in a room.?
 
Messrs Heath and Robinson would suggest margarine carton material covering white lens ! IR rays need to pass thru to work !
(or experiment with some of it ) ..
When the rats are big enough to detect you need to move.
 
Apart from struggling to see the need for outside lights indoors, why haven’t you provided a cpc for the fitting? That fly lead imposes there’s a need to Earth the fitting, This tells me your aren’t an electrician, best get one to sort out your dilemma. Won’t take much longer that 15 minutes to sort.
 
Some things are just funny - that's all I've got!

As long as the existing wiring is approved for outdoor use and everything is working as planned then there is no need to replace the wiring.
