Daytime running lights ore on by default. They can be turned off by request

On my Toyota RAV4 (2013), there is a position on the light switch
"below" the "DRL" position (daytime running lights) that turns ALL the
lights off.

No lights at all (just like the old days) ...


There was a time if you wanted to get lynched, just drive into an
astronomy star party with your lights on. Or let your dome light come
on. Older cars were easier to make dark, but now you've got to learn all
the right fuses to pull.


The light pollution problem is not a thing of the past.
