headlight reminder buzz???

[TOBIASX]

I honestly did a search, but being new to this board layout maybe i missed something. so any help would be appreciated.
unfortunately our new 08 special edition forunner urban did not inlcude any form of buz or hint that we left the lights on.
is there an aftermarket kit we can have to put this on..
seems really really lame that this special of a vehicle doesnt include some technology from stone ages.
Thanks !
I love this forum.

The lights will turn off in about 30 seconds after you get out of the car and close all the doors.

You can also turn them off faster by pushing the lock button twice on the remote.

Actually.... it doesnt..

the headlights on my 4runner doesnt have auto turn off!
it is a 2008 Urban special edition 4wd etc.
yeah,, we can have lights on and exit, lock doors either remote or manual, and come back later thanking the starts that is has good battery in it.
so i was wondering if there is some aftermarket headlight reminder gizmo or otherwise..
i know its a small thing, but sometimes juggling kids and such while exiting vehicle at partial dusk is hard to remember to kick off the lights.
Thanks you all for your consideration.

All 4th gen 4Runners auto off lights. The only way they won't turn off automatically is when you turn them on without the truck running. If they do not turn off automatically, there is something wrong.

And LOCK the doors.
Works on an '04. I see no cost saving reason for Toyota to redesign this out in later years.
Test it again by leaving the lights on, turning the truck off, exit and push the lock button on the fob once. Let us know how it works for you.
