Today I installed a code alarm remote start (pc7400) into a 2003 toyoyta matrix.  The headlights come on instantly day or night  after you start the car.  After I put the remote start in today, They don't come on automatically. but they will come on with the switch.  I only had limited tech data, I pretty sure I need to energize a wire but I don't know where and what. If anyone has data that can help me, please respond

also make sure park brake is off on most cars this is an override for drl's. also is the customer that finicky that the drl's dont come on??? if so he/she needs to get out more. or is it that if remote started they dont come on at all???even after the key is inserted???
