Just pull the trigger function on the left stalk to flash the high beams and you'll know the lows are on.

Hey, the Canadian versions don't get things like that … ya'll got under panels instead.

So instead of taco weight I may gain by eating in-car tacos, I get metal weight from under panels. Not sure if I can agree with this.

Well, at least the panels don't fart …

Nope. Pulling the stalk flashes the bright lights and shows you the high beam indicator on the dash regardless of whether the low beams are on or off.

huh til.

but in any case if it's dark out you'd be able to compare the beams.

Sure, you don't need one, but why do my other Toyotas (and I'm sure other cars) have this feature? For me, didn't notice I liked it till I didn't have that in the 86.

The better question is do other Subarus have this, since this is still mostly a Subie.

That being said, there are always oddities. My '87 Celica had auto-off headlights (they turned off when you opened the door). I've never been able to figure out why that functionality disappeared for twenty or so years on most cars except luxury models - to include this one.

At least it beeps at you if your lights are still on.

My cheap 2005 Toyota Matrix's doors automatically locked when the engine started and shifted from P to D. I thought that was really convenient. But my 2016 4runner and 2012RAV4 didn't have this feature. Who knows why Toyota didn't have it on all their cars going forward. Oddities indeed.

Maybe Toyota is more popular among blondes?

Almost. Two clicks would also illuminate the dash and the parking lights, but not the headlights.
