How do you turn on the headlights on a Toyota?

3. The auto headlight sensor is located in the middle of the dash, near the windshield. Make sure not to place anything over the sensor to ensure its functionality.
4. If your Toyota has automatic high beams, you can press the button next to the steering wheel with the headlight logo and the word “Auto” under it.
