I'm trying to install my HID's on Depo Proyectors. I follow some DIY here on the page and I didn't find any DRL Module. When I turn on the lights they start flickering. Some guys had the problem before but they don't wrote how they fix it. Any help please???:frown:

xenon vision sells something to solve the flickering problem I think.

I think so. It connects directly to the battery. I saw it when I was ordering my kit.

flickering due to day time running light.. u have to use a relay and direct connect to battery instead..hid needs 12v not 10..

Disable your DRLs. Take the steering column cover off (3 screws) and read the how-to's again. It's very easy to do. Took me 5 minutes.

FYI, toyota DRL runs on 12v, with a current (amperage) limiter.


to OP: you need one of these.

Yaris here on Puerto Rico doesn't have DRL. However I check were is supposed to be and there's nothing.

Your power for the HID is tapped directly into the battery right?

If you did it on the yaris, then you are PROBABLY right. It wasn't the case when i had the echo.

I took no chance, and installed my HID with a relay right away on the yaris.
