This is all strange to me! Especially because when I was driving in the rain, the light did not change, it was overcast.
 
On the other hand, when I drove under an overpass, the light switched down then -- but again came up suddenly, without change in the outside light.
 
Sounds like this effect is amplified for you when the headlights are in auto versus changing them manually. I had set the headlights manually....

Yep, when you went under the overpass, the dash lights dimmed, but then they would have gotten brighter again after you got out from under it. Both mine act the same as yours - perfectly normal.
 
In the rain, at times, the light level in the environment can be VERY close to the point where the sensor would turn down the intensity of the dash lights, and since it is that close, it may decide with out you even noticing, that it needs to turn it back up just because the environment light got just SLIGHTLY brighter again.
 
Again, ask at Toyotanation, go for a drive right now (if it is after sunset) or go for a drive on a non-rainy day. You will see that your car is fine!

Not to be working this, but the lights did not come back after I went under the overpass for another 20 minutes...I really want to understand this!

Correct, there is a delay, so that it does not go back and forth too much. I have noticed the same thing. Did you go out for a drive at night yet? Or just wait until after sunrise. It is fine. Have a good night, and don't worry about it.
