Default Headlights don't come on

Doesn't Toyota offer the convenience that when you use the key fob to unlock the doors the headlights come on especially at night time?

Now what since does that make, that I needed to spend an extra 5K in order to get the extra convenience package.

Your dealer can program the truck to turn on lights when fob is activated either to lock or unlock.

I haven't tried this, but it might work. If you leave the headlights on they automatically turn off after 30 seconds I think. If you then unlock with the fob, perhaps the lights will then come on?

Front Susp: Stock coilovers, 4" lift (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...6-4-inch-lift/), just swapped extra spacers for Bilstein 5100s on lowest setting, wheel well height still 41.5."

Rear Susp: ProComp ES3000 #326510 (2.25" taller than stock), 1.25" blocks plus PRG mini-pack (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...and-new-truck/) gives 2.25" total lift, parking brake cable bracket spacers, wheel well height 43."

Front diff and rear ds drop; trailer hitch electrical harness tucked up above bumper.

After 20K miles swapped 305/65/18 BFG AT for 285/75/18 Toyo AT, still on stock 18x8x60 offset TRD wheels, about 1/8" clearance to sway bar. Like the extra height but miss the width. Next time either 305/70/18 or 35x12.50/18.

Added 5th 285/75/18 Toyo AT as spare. Foam pad above spare to help with bed bounce.

Bed Bounce: Stiffer E-tires are worse than stock P-metric; biggest improvement from PRG mini-pack, slight improvement from shocks and foam pad above spare. Still a stiff ride but tolerable now.

Best things about this truck: 5.7 and transmission, interior size and comfort, very quiet at high speed.

Worst things about this truck: bed bounce, no VSC in 4wd, mileage sucks above 70.

Default Re: Headlights don't come on

I have ot heard of this feature on the Tundra from reading the manual or online. The only feature we do have is teh headlights will stay on after turning the truck of to light your path in your home for a set time you can program (I have mine set for 5mins.) from the limited's programing functions on the dash or the dealer will need to set this for you. On the limited the only thing that lights up when you disarm or unlock the truck is the puddle lights under the mirrors and the interior lights that I am aware of, oh guess the bed light too unless you have the switch turned off like I do. Oh if you don't want the headlight to stay on after exiting the truck and lockign it the first time just hit the lock again and the headlights will go out right away along with the interior lights too. I guess I could of missed somethig in teh manual or there another feature only the dealer can set but from the PDF listed here in other threads thats not one of them.
