DRL in Yaris from..?

If simply disconnecting the module doesn't do the trick, then snap a picture of the connector. If the EWD that I have matches the wiring for your area, then I believe that you will need to disconnect the yellow wire (between the two greens) and leave the module in place.

Are you kidding me. I thought I solved the problem and I could start assemblying the kit when it arrives but you said that maybe disconnecting the module doesn't help?! Connector is blue colored, if it helps anything... What does it help if I disconnect just yellow wire but leave the module in place?

What EWD do you have?

I have the US 2001 EWDs. From what I have found with the 2nd generation Yaris, there are differences in the US and European cars. So, I am not completely sure that your 2001 matches the EWDs that I have. With the 2nd generation Yaris, the European DRL module is wired much different from ours, where you can't just disconnect it to bypass it.

Does the EWD which you have "say" that I have to disconnect just a yellow wire. Or does it say that in US 2001 Yaris DRL have to be completely disconnect.

jsut a side note.... when i had the problem i didn't have any HID's installed so if the problem is dirrectly related to them then i dont think the module will be too much help..... give it a shot if u like

So... Yellow or blue?

So... Yellow or blue?

With how the module is integrated, I would say that for the 2001 US one, removing the module would make the lights not come on at all, so based on that disconnecting the yellow looks like the required method.


For the second question of Yellow or Blue, he is talking about a 2nd Gen Yaris DRL, which is wired completely different than the first gen DRL module.

I have a 2010 liftback and the manual mentioned DRL. But when I turn on the car the headlights do NOT go on. ??? Should I complain?

Hi again,

I have now the second Bi-xenon bulbs in my Yaris. These new bulbs has worse flickering problem compares to older ones. Passenger side bulb is flickering especially when starting engine, pretty bad I think. My hid is connected directly to the battery. I have heard about relay harness, but is that going to change anything because my hid is already connected directly to the battery.

What about capacitor decoder which is used to flickering also, that stables the current, I think.

How I resolve flickering problem in that situation? Relay, Capacitor?!

...and I have hi/lo kit where relay harness came with the kit

The flickering is because of the ground being pulsed, so the direct connect to the battery has no effect. A large capacitor should take care of the issue. Use two 4700uF (25V or greater) capacitors. Connect the capacitor across the input power to the ballast (making sure that you match the polarity).
