My 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX doesn't have a headlamp warning chime, but
it does have a headlamp auto-off feature. Same goes for some
relatives' Toyota Camry.

I did some research and I think I know what the problem is.
Apparently the driver's side door open switch can get stuck to the
closed position. I've noticed that the dome light doesn't turn on
when the driver's side door is open and it's switched to the center
(door selected) position. Apparently the headlamp-on warning or key-
in-ignition warning chimes don't activate until the driver's side door
is sensed open.
