To turn on the headlights on a Toyota Corolla, follow these steps. First, ensure you are seated in the car with the ignition key inserted.

To turn on the headlights, locate the light lever on the left side of the steering wheel. To activate the headlights, move the lever to the "Auto" position.

This will set the headlights to automatic mode. Check the dashboard to ensure the headlights are actually on. Once on, verify that the headlights are functioning correctly both on the dashboard and externally.

If you need to turn on the daytime running lights instead of the full headlights, move the light lever to the "Daytime Running Lights" or "DRL" position. Always ensure you comply with local laws regarding driving with lights on.
