I have a 01' ES 300 and the same light has been on on my dash for a few months now. It goes on when the auto headlights go on and goes off when the headlights are off. I don't have any burnt out lights either.

Yeah, I heard that hte light also turns on as a WARNING that a light WILL be going out SOON...

so maybe one of our bulbs are about to go out soon or possibly not firmly connected..

The only changes I have made is I connected my BASS BOX...and it is CRAAZZY BASS....So i think the lights might be going out cuza the crazy bass..lol
