    I've searched the forums, searched google, still haven't found a concrete answer.

    I just got a 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport. Not sure what packages, honestly, but I do have:

    Wireless ph charger
    Entune

    But I don't have the moonroof or headed seats.

    Anyways, please tell me that a truck in the year 2016 has automatic headlights. I have the sensor for them on the dash. I don't mind leaving them on full time, but this dims my screen. I know I can manually change the brightness, but it's super bright at night and I shouldn't have to manually change my screen each time I get in the truck based on the time of day...


    How do I get my headlights on automatically and not have to toggle my screen brightness manually?

    If you don't have moonroof or heated seats, then you don't have the tech package which includes the automatic headlights.

    I believe the auto Headlights only comes with the tech package! the brightness adjustments for the dash you can set and it will come on when u turn your headlights on and off! there is no sensor for any of this unless you have the tech package witch looks like you do not!
