My car, a 2018 Camry, has the parking brake on the floor (next to
where the clutch would be if it had one) and has no dimmer switch (the
brights go on and off as needed automatically).

Are you sure it doesn't have a dimmer switch? I recently test drove a
2018 Highlander, equipped with Toyota's "Safety Sense" feature, and the
automatic behaviors (both Auto and Safety Sense) were *in addition to*
the usual manual capabilities.

With the Highlander, (and Toyota is not well known for deviating much
across models within the same model year), with the stalk-mounted switch
twisted all the way to the last position, the headlights will be on and
High/Low beam can be selected by pushing the stalk away from you (High)
or pulling the stalk back to its center position (Low). The third
position, obtained by pulling the stalk closer to you, is spring-loaded
to light the High beams temporarily, you, which is useful for flashing
the High beams.
