ok for canadian models...with fogs.. ...to keep drl,fogs,hid bi-xenon with high beam.. here it is u just need to cut 2 wires...headlight should have 3 wires, ground, low,and high. cut the low beam wire.. then cut the positive wire on the fogs..interconnect them (switch them 2 wire with each other)..therefore when the car is on ur fogs is running on 10v (drl). once the headlight switch is turned on that should activate fogs on 12v and ur hid ( which was interconnected w/ the fogs.which is actually the fog light. high beam is still ur high beam.....
so 2 wire interconnected...drl=fogs=lowbeam, fog switch =(hid)low, then high beam remain as is.....no relay needed may need to supply a lower amp for the fogs..coz its running amp from the headlight..and fog amp should be sufficient to run the hid bi xenon.

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! |

Yes Sir!!
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..

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: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...37&postcount=6 Relay choice here: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...9&postcount=13 I've even got the wire colors mapped out making it simple for any DIY'er.

ok.....
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!! TE=rage2;75985]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: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...00&postcount=3 http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...4&postcount=20 100% sure it's single 12V, and 2 grounds in the headlight plug.

You've been telling people it works without even measuring what the wires are yet? If you've ever looked at an ECU harness, they have the most bizarre colors for ground or power. NEVER EVER guess a wire is ground because it's black, or a wire is power because it's red.
I don't know foglight wiring, so I can't answer that question.

actually read on!!
i havent told anyone it works im saying it should work..there a difference there..i just really cant wait to do it on mine..again we are going in circles here..the method should work..im giving a 99% only thing holding that back is the power running on the fogs... if hid ballast is relayed and it wont matter...even though YOURE confirming that there is 2 ground wire and one power it should still work! assuming the fogs has the same set up.. " switch fog ground to low beam ground". without check the voltmeter the worst thing that can happen should be blowing your fuse"... but hey "VOLTMETER" will be our best friend here.. im waiting for "VIOLIN" to respond maybe i dont have to use it! well see...

Thanks for the easy mod, Chris. This will be the first mod I'll do when I pick up my hatchback later this week.
The issue of legality doesn't concern me in the least. I hate driving around with lights on all the time. And I hate driving around a well-lit town at night being fooled into the notion that my real headlamps are on. DRLs are the most useless passive automotive safety feature ever. |
