    I have a stupid question.I have a 2013 Tacoma, and, I was thinking about leaving my headlights on all the time, like some here have suggested. I was just wondering though. If I leave my headlights on all the time approximately how long before my bulbs burn out?(including tailights and fogs)A year? 6 months? Less? Longer? What do you think?

    I have 47,000 miles on my 2011 and I drive with the headlights on about 90% of the time, if that tells you anything :notsure:
