Sounds like your vehicle is equipped with the daytime running lights (DRL system) When the vehicle is started and the emergency brake is released , the daytime running lamps automatically come on. Start your vehicle and then apply the parking brake to see if the headlights shut off , if they do then you have the DRL system.
how do i turn off the headlights of my toyota 4 runner 2000 while the car is off?
There are a couple of different times when you'd turn off your headlights. You'd turn off your headlights when the car is off for example.
do the headlights come on automatically or manually, if manually turn off
When you're driving drunk.
You should flick the headlight switch after you turn the car on.
because you turn them on and off, on and off...
You cannot actually turn off the lights while the car is driving or in any gear but park. If you would want to turn the lights off while you are parked for some reason, put the car in park, turn off the car completely, pull the emergency brake up, then restart the car. This overrides the headlights and they will stay off while the car is running-however, as soon as you release the emergency brake- the headlights turn back on.
Shut the car off...lol
is your headlights dim? park facing a wall, turn on headlights whilst car isn't started, now start the car while still lookin at the lights shining on the wall, they should brighten up when car is started if alternator is charging, best to do this at night
When you turn on the headlights of any car it causes a load (or horsepower drag) on the engine. Your car has an idle problem and the load on the alternator simply exacerbates it.
Yes, headlights drain battery power, but it is only major if you leave them on when you turn the car off, because the car might not start up after a bit.
i would assume you need to turn your headlights off as they are the most common reason for the beeping after you turn off the car. My headlights are off and the car is still beeping
