Headlights do not light up when locking and unlocking with FOB

Title says it all! I can find NO setting to control this. Every car I have had including my '08 Tacoma when I'd lock or unlock the doors the headlights would come on - not this one!
And I don't mean flash when locking or unlocking - that works. I mean stay on so I can find my way to the front door.

 

My 2008 does no such thing

 

The 2008 sounds like it had an aftermarket alarm.

 

Well pretty sure mine lighted up for about 30 seconds when I locked or unlocked the doors. Unless my brain is fried!

 

My '10 and '15 did not do that.

 

Ah -actually it did -something put on at the port. Wonder if this can be enabled via Techstream? Every other vehicle I've had did this. Don't understand why this vehicle doesn't!

 

Parking lights normally flash if im not mistaken

 

if my headlights are on when i park they will stay on for about 30 seconds after i get out of the truck and lock it. they do not however turn on whenever i unlock/lock it.

 

look in your vehicle settings within your headunit

 

I smell frying brain..!!!

 

Actually inwood hit it on the head. It came with a port installed security system. I'll see what TechStream will do. Thanx all.

■Automatic light off system

When the light switch is in or : The lights turn off 30 seconds after the

engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without a smart key

system) or off (vehicles with a smart key system) and a door is opened and all

of the doors are closed. (Vehicles with a wireless remote control function: The

lights turn off immediately if on the key is pressed while all the doors are

locked.)

 

So the lights have to be on for them to stay on after locking the doors? I'll test that tonight. Thanx.

 

So is it confirmed that the 3rd gens don't have a way to get the headlights to turn on when you unlock the door with the key fob?

 

Mine doesn't

 

I believe illumination here is the dome/interior lights.

 

Yes

 

Yep the dome light
