Marcus you made me need a drink, but thanks

[marcus]

well its that a good drink or a bad drink...and yah just got my yaris last saturday and someone in here telling me that its 2 ground and one power but its not.. its 1 ground and 2 power wire so my method should be 99% accurate to work..

Until Violin signs off on this, or you can actually show us it worked ("99% sure", isn't a 100% yea I tried it..) I wouldnt be passing this info on to new guys that dont have a clue about their cars yet.

Hopefully you found a solution to this, as Im sure TONS of the Canadian folks will love ya for it!

ay ay sir i will make sure it works.. the 1% is actually the fog power supply im worried about se if it will properly run the ballast for hid..if its relayed then it wouldnt matter...ill will see..

dude, use CHASSIS ground to measure the 3 wires, and you'll see that it's 12V and 2 grounds. Our lights use a switched ground system, verified by Violin here as well:

100% sure it's single 12V, and 2 grounds in the headlight plug. I've also tested my circuit with 2 separate relays and it works beautifully. If you go telling people to cut the stock wires and plug them into +, they're gonna fry their car and maybe even hurt themselves.

So, if you're looking at getting a HID kit and either disabling DRL, or running HID's as DRL without affecting fog lights at all and not touching stock wiring (just the HID harness), my circuit and relay choice will allow you to do it without any problems here:

I've even got the wire colors mapped out making it simple for any DIY'er.

well maybe its different with canadian model..coz i just got my yaris last saturday and had check the headlight wires right away... got 2 red wire and one black and from what i know black is always ground..red is power wires..but like i said if u got 2 ground and one power the method should still work..just make sure you grab the ground wire on the fogs instaed of power wire..

good luck!!

I'm from Calgary and I have a Canadian car. The headlight plug has 3 wires, and it's black, dark green, dark blue. Don't go by colors because the black wire is 12V. The easiest way to tell is to take a voltmeter, take the (-) tap, and throw it on ground. Then measure the 3 wires and you'll see whats power, and what's ground. Don't rely on colors.

i will actually use a voltmeter to figure this out..but dont you think that is the weirdest thing that toyota will make (black wire) as power..wow..im just too busy to do this just got it last weekend..i havent even check the manual yet...ill keep you posted.
