Headlights left on?

[jacki3]

I've been wondering, does the Camry have a sensor that turns off headlights? I previously left my lights on for about 4 hrs at work but my car still started up when I realized my mistake.

My camry does when you leave them on and take the key out of the ignition and open the door the lights turn off

gen 3 turn the lights off on door opening

gen 4 is time based after the car is turned off i believe

Gen 3's do turn off the lights when you open the door, but if your car is already turned off and then you turn on the lights, opening the door will do nothing.

Hmmm, good to know. Now I don't feel as guilty for bolting out of my car and forgetting to turn off the lights

now if you notice if your door switch sticks like mine then your lights are going to say on when you bolt out (if you have a gen 3)

I do have a gen3 but my door switch doesn't stick (that's the light inside the car right?)
