I think it is a safety precaution and feature that they automatically stay on ALL the time, anyone know how to make them go off ever! day or night!! please help, so irritated with it!! if you can help will pick best answer!!! Help!!!















Thanks!















i know they are daytime running lights, but i want them off when I want to, i hate having the, on all teh time! i want to turn them off at night sometimes too. (when pulling into my driveway so not to shine lights into my house and waking up people.

They're called daytime running lights. And a lot of countries have made them mandatory.































It's a safety precaution. Studies have shown you're less likely to get into an accident with daytime running lights as you're more visible to other vehicles. I suggest leaving them on.

Toyota's stink...they've been having alot of mechanical and technical glitches lately. Maybe daytime running lights or you may need to check in with you dealer.































P.S.































And Toyota's suck!

I work at a Toyota dealership. The feature is called day time running lamps. They are not your nighttime headlamps they are a different system. Research has shown that they reduce accidents by 75%. In Canada every vehicle made must come standard with day time running lamps. You bought a car with a 5 star safety rating so you get all the safety features. Congratulations!!

We also have one, as soon as it goes into gear on comes the headlights.















Without messing with the electrical controls, (ie void warranttee) I think there is nothing you can do.































But it is a good car!

Ok I have a new Corolla (2006) and a Matrix (2007) both toyota. I know they dont stay on all the time but try calling the dealership. You probably hit something they will know what to do.

You can always pull the bulbs out. But remember to put them back in before your inspection. The daytime running lights are seperate from the actual headlights

They come on when the car is started and go off when the car is turned off. It's is a safety feature, so there is nothing you can do to have them go off when driving during daylight hours. Sorry.

maybe you can shine a flashlight directly on the sensor dome (left corner of dashboard) to make it think it's really really bright outside?















i have the 2005 corolla s and am annoyed by the same thing; however, it's standard in all new cars, now in the usa
