    i just purchased my first tacoma (2013 LIMITED PreRunner). I can not figure out how to get the headlights to automatically turn off, regardless of what switch position. Owners manual says to just get out of the car and shut the door,, but mine stay on. Is there a better light tutorial somewhere for these rides? should be simple, but I can't not figure it out.

    My 2013 headlights turn off when I turn the truck off and open the door. They will stay on if I turn them on after shutting the car off.
