automatic headlights

I have a 2007 Tacoma without automatic on/off headlights..I don't think it came with this option..was wondering if the 4runner has the same set up and if I could use the auto switch from the 4 runner

 

I'm with ya, I'm like them in both of my Carmrys

 

I don't understand how its not available as an option.. I have an old maxima that has them...just set it to auto and the lights take care of themselves..the auto drivers door window is also automatic up and down as is the sunroof..why is Toyota so stingy with their options?

 

I don't think leaving the lights on all the time is a convenience either..

 

I'm not looking for explanations just features and creature comforts

 

I guess I should be thankful that I'm still not too lazy to turn my lights on and off manually...it's no big deal to me.

 

Perhaps you should get rid of all your options then..

 

buddy its a thread about likes and dislikes...no need to take it personal..I want to improve the driving experience and I came to a tacoma forum to look for answers..

I'm wondering if the 2007 4runner and Tacoma have the same wiring harnesses and switch mounting points..with the exception of the auto function and the sensor for light and darkness

 

My wrist! For the love of god, my wrist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

If anyone has any useful information it would be greatly appreciated... I like working on and improving my truck as much as driving it...thank you..

 

Add it to the list of things the tacoma doesnt get!

 

You could always go aftermarket and install something like this:

Directed Electronics 545T Nite-Lite System D

Have no personal experience with it but it showed up in a Google Search. Directed Electronics is the company that manufactures all sort of after-market alarm systems (Viper, Clifford, Python, etc.).

 

Thanks I may have to go that route although I'm not a fan of aftermarket add-ons if there is an OEM options but it appears there isn't..

 

The only prob with after market is I don't know it the interior backlit gauges will stay dimmed with the headlight switch in the "on"position
