I need to engage my SC400 headlights so that they come on automatically during the day or night.
How do I accomplish this ?
My wife has driven the car several times lately during the evening and recently was stopped by the police.
How do I set the lights so they come on at all times

Thanks

If you turn the dial all the way to the back, there should be an auto setting...at least there is on mine.

Clicking it all the way will put it to the auto setting. This setting has the headlights turn on automatically when its getting dark. From what it seems like you want the headlights to be on all the time.

**Two clicks forward is what you are looking for.

Do keep in mind the 1992 did not come with auto on/off headlights.

Just a heads up, if you guys have HIDs to NOT keep the light in auto as when you go under an overpass,tunnel in a shady area and the lights turn on and off, you can shorten the life of your HIDs by doing this over time. Where you turn on the head light it should say auto, go to that setting, your light sensor is on the far driver's side of the dash (left) it is the clear looking button thing. Cover it and your lights will turn on.

Why do they have that little dome in the front left corner of the dash? On previous Toyota's I or my family have owned that dome was used for auto on lights.

it is used for the automatic climate control, its measures light intensity so it can adjust cooling according to heat load along with a cabin thermometer.

isnt it the receiver for the keyless entry?

no, there is a control module under the dash that is for the key less entry i know because it was one of the things that got removed when i was stripping the interior of my car

My auto thing doesn't seem to work properly, how does your work? Do you have to hit that "auto" button on the temp ****? Wouldn't it just turn full blast on whatever temperature your temp **** is? (all the way left = cold, right = hot)

yeah auto sucks...I like everything in my car in manual control...except the transmission

mine starts at full blast then gradually brings the fan level down

Guys,
Thanks for all your responses.
I WILL use Auto on for a guarantee that the lights will come on at night (wife says even at dusk they "may" come on).
Is that left dash dome for temps or lights.
I would gladly cover it to make sure the lights are on during the day.
I believe that lights on during the day are a safety benefit.
So, what do I need to do to get the lights to come on during the day????
Thanks all for your help

1st position = city lights
2nd position = always on
3rd position = automatically on when it is dark

You'll want to leave it in the 2nd position and it should turn off when you take the key out of the ignition and open the drivers door.
