Question Headlight indicator light

Anyone know why the headlight on indicator lamp on the dash (#23 in the manual) of my 05 Dakota would come on spontaneously while driving with the lights off. Just started happening in cold weather.

I am not sure what #23 is... in my OM #23 is the 4WD light?

What time of the day does this happen and do you have the switch set to off or automatic?

idk if auto headlights were an option in 05..

I think they started in 06 and iirc they are only available on the Laramie versions.

auto headlights weren't an option on my sport model slt... at all
