Auto headlights

I ordered that adapter from an eBay store that gets them straight from Japan. If I have read correctly on here, adding the OEM auto headlight functionality isn't easily doable since it requires the ECU right?

 

Stalk coming off of the steering column is not a hard swap - I did it on my old tacoma. I have seen bits here and there about needing a BCM update/mod/swap also... just hoping someone has some experience without having to do that.

 

Same. If all I need is the stalk I’ll order one now.

 

Ordered one of of eBay for $19 on the correct part number will be here in a week or 2

Here is a similar thread: https://www.4runners.com/threads/2022-features-question.22069/#post-277893

Edit:
Further down that same thread someone said they swapped all the necessary bits to get it to work.

 

Sorry but I don't feel that auto-headlights are very useful since most don't come on during foggy or rainy daylight hours, when you really need them. Not to see better but, to be seen safely by others. White and silver vehicles are more difficult to see in adverse weather, especially in the daylight hours. They can be invisible to some other drivers.
In some States , it's the law to have the headlights on during inclement weather. It's not a thing for me to trust an auto-on feature to.

 

Just installed it in maybe 5 minutes easiest mod ever

 

I think that's true for many cars, definitely my Outback and my wife's. That's a situation where I like to have a fully-on setting in addition to the auto setting. If (fingers crossed) the LED headlights last substantially longer than Halogens, I'll just leave them on most of the time.

 

I ordered the light sensor from jpanime2014 on eBay after seeing here that people had good results. I received it after about a week and installed it yesterday in my 2021 ORP. Now my display changes between night and day automatically. I wish I had known about this 2 years ago.

Not sure if I have auto headlights & if so I have over rode them. Had rental in Fla. earlier this month GM Malibu. I did NOT like that feature. I have always dimmed my interior lights for decades ( flying around at nite in Hel made the warning lights that much more obvious) plus I am light sensitive at night. I looked at the sensor currently & thought it looked like the sensor & not dummy plug. The only this was I didn't know to roll the thumb wheel dimmer just past 1st click. SOB mine came W/it !! I am by far away a cheap one ,But I couldn't justify $64.++ just to have that feature! I'm sure I paid well for it on the MSRP sticker. I will have to look if it's on there. It's a wicked cool feature. I just now leave interior thumb wheel 1 click off Max & it's in that mode sweet!! another reason this forum is outstanding!!! Thank you!!!
