Yeah, I didn't realize the Yaris used a dual filament headlight bulb.

Listen to Corey.


So the stock bulb has 2 filaments. 1 for lowbeam and 1 for highbeam.
So if you replace this bulb with a standard HID bulb and projector, you will only get a lowbeam.

In order to get around this, you can retrofit a bi-xenon projector.
Essentially, it uses the same bulb but there is a motorized eyelid that comes up and allows light to be emitted as a highbeam when you hit the switch.

I am a fan of the acura projectors more than the BMW ones...but I guess that's more just personal preference.

There is more on this at www.hidplanet.com.
People there get really creative. Lots of great work done.
