Park Lights

[darnoc]

Just want to confirm an event i experienced. Can anyone confirm if the Park Lights of the FJ would automatically turn themselves off if we leave them on by accident?

when i walked to the garage this morning i was pretty sure that no lights were turned on. i unlocked the fj from the passenger side and continued to start it from the passenger side as well(reaching into the keyhole to start). walked back into the house when i came back out i noticed that the lights on the sidemirror were turned on(along with the other park lights) when i got in the driver's side the switch was on. I guess i must've left the park lights on a few days before when i got home but im almost 100% certain that the park lights weren't on the night before and that day? weird.

yes it does turn off by itself after about 45 secs. only if you close all doors.

I noticed that my FJ flashed it's lights strangly when I set the alarm once. Couldn't figure it out until I got in the next morning, started it up and my lights were on.. Must have been it.. Ron

The FJ will also shut off the lights if you press the Lock buttin 2x in the remote.
Same as the Wife's Rav.

When I leave the parking lights on in my 07 FJ with no alarm, they lights turn off when I open the driver door with the key out of the ignition.
