- DISABLED DayTime Running Lights How To- 2007 Yaris! -

I can't get the darn plug off the relay. I cant get the relay out of the bracket that is pop riveted to the car.

I'm gonna break something if I keep pulling.

WTF

[Doc Zaius]

It took me about 10 minutes of uncomfortable contorsions and a few scraped knuckles to pop the plug off the relay. It can be done... just wiggle it and be patient!

[AlphaFox]

Take the box off the bracket before you try to unplug it.. it seems impossible at first, but it just slides off which gives you some room to unplug the connector.

[barryware]

The clip on the plug.... Do you squeeze it toward the connector to release or do you pry it away?

I can't see it. I was working on my kids motorcycle and I was trying to un-do a wire connector.. Turns out I had to pull the clip away from the plug. By looking at it, I would have bet a years salary you had to squeeze the clip.

[AlphaFox]

The box relay thing slides to the left, then it should come off the bracket. once its off I dont think there is a clip, its just on there real hard.

[Doc Zaius]

He's talking about the clip between the plug and the connector. And ya, its a squeeze, not a pull. So you have to squeeze it, and try to wiggle it and pull back at the same time. Not super easy... but I did it, and I have big hands.

Once its off the first time, its quite a bit easier after that. But you can also try to get the relay off the chassis there... it's just slid in real tight.

Did this mod today, thanks for the simple write up Chris! But I have to say, it took me about 6 min total to do mine, I vote for false advertising! hehe

I GOT IT!!!! i found out how to keep fog lights, drl and run hid with high beam still...so simple and im smackin my head for not figuring it out sooner...

[marcus]

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.

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!

[marcus]

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.

[marcus]

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.

[marcus]

well is the fog power setup the same though...coz if it is it will still work.. switch ground wires from headlight to fog light...i got to talk to violin!!!
