HID Kit High-Beam Cluster Indicator Problem - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

joeljcruz86 · 07-08-2010, 07:22 PM

I have a problem with my HID's. For the first 2 months since i've had them, they were working fine until now. They only come on when i have a normal headlight bulb plugged into the leftover/passenger side harness. I don't know why this is happening. I was thinking of using a wire with a 10k ohm 1/4watt resistor in the middle to plug into the to top hole on one end and the other to the right hole of the left over harness. This method i found on one of the forums is for to get the high beam light to show in the guage cluster. I'm hoping that this method would substitute the "normal headlight bulb" to get the HID's to be working as well.

If anybody has any solution and knows for a fact that any of the methods is not going to work, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!! THANK YOU.

a buck for 6x 10k resistor and just slipped it in at the back of the socket..my hid is running on both side with individual relay kit.

I have the bi-xenon kit with fog lights and DRL (DRL module still installed, not removed or modified) and my hi beam indicator doesn't light up either. I'd be interested in a fix for this.

Mike (MGargano) popped by today and we fixed his. We started looking at the harness under the hood, but we would have had to pop the headlight to get at the wiring to figure it out from that side, so instead we did the fix at the cluster.

The cluster side fix will also allow for dimming the high beam indicator (if you find the blue light annoying as some do).

Instructions:

1. Remove the cluster trim.

2. Snip the gray wire going to pin 14 (of Connector D76 for Sedans and D2 for Liftbacks). Leave an inch or so coming out of the connector.

3. Tape or cap off the harness side of the gray wire.

4. Tap a piece of wire (about 18 inches long) to the black wire in pin 1 of connector D1 (Liftback or Sedan)

5. Connect the tapped wire to the gray wire from step 2, where it goes into the connector. If you wish to dim the blue indicator, add a 10K ohm resistor between the tapped wire and the gray wire.

6. Reinstall the cluster trim.
