Yaris Hybrid headlight and tail light compatibility

[m.flores.0928]

I have a 2014 US spec LE 4 door model. I recently discovered the fact that Toyota has a hybrid model of the Yaris in other countries. I also noticed that these models have really awesome looking headlights and tail lights. I want them!

Based on their basic outward appearance and shape, they look like they would fit any 12-14 US spec model as far as mounting locations, bolt holes, etc (but not the face-lifted 15+ models)

Are these actually compatible with US spec cars though? Any idea where I could get them? I need these in my life! I found an eBay posting for tail lights but no headlights. I’m going to hit up my local dealer to see what I can find. The search continues...

The taillights will probably need to be repinned and spliced into a USDM connector.

Headlights will not have the correct cutoff and you'll just end up blinding oncoming traffic here.

Repinning is fine. I can do all the necessary testing to figure out which pins is what, etc.

Headlights can be adjusted can’t they?

Then I say go for it if you really want those taillights.

The only way to "adjust" a RHD headlight is to take it apart, and maybe flip the cutoff the other way. If that's not possible, then you would have to retrofit another set of LHD projectors (I'd look at the Retrofit Source for that).

Crap, it didn’t even occur to me that Hybrid models are probably RHD... hmm. Does that mean one headlight aims differently than the other? I thought they were more or less aimed the same way? What is this “cutoff” exactly?

I’m not necessarily wanting the headlights because they are projectors, I like them overall with the integration of the LEDs, etc.

So you can see why you would end up blinding oncoming traffic with RHD headlights.

I see. I get the idea now. That first picture though is literally just a flipped copy of itself.

Anyway, I see. Well, can’t one of them be aimed down and one of them aimed up? I thought this cutoff was decided just by aiming them.

I recall seeing a LHD Yaris Hybrid somewhere around this forum, let me go see if I can find it

Nope, if you aim them down enough to not blind oncoming cars, you'll have a useless headlight as you'll only throw the light maybe 20 feet in front of the car.

If they had a Yaris HSD in a LHD country, then your best bet is to find/source headlights from one that was destined for that country. lol.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Also, does your current Yaris have DRL's? If so, then you'll have to repin it to the LEDs. If not, then you'll have to get creative on how you would want to turn on the LEDs. You'll also need a wire harness adapter (if they make one that goes from H4 [assuming that's what the 14s had] to what ever bulb base the Yaris HSD projector uses.

Gotcha

Yea I’ll keep looking.

Yes, my car has “DRL”, which is a position on my headlight switch. DRL in the “on” position just means my low beams are on, that’s it. It’s nota separate bulb or function. The LEDs in the Hybrid headlight presumably are the DRL, whereas the projector beam is the low/high beam separately.

There are in fact Yaris Hybrids with left hand drive. They are all over Europe, so it should be possible to source the headlights from there.

You are going to have to find a company or person over there. Toyota USA does not stock and will not procure non US model parts, even if they are made by Toyota. I went thru this when I was trying to find mirror covers for my integrated mirror turn signal mod. I used a Japanese supplier but that won't work for you as Japan is RHD. I'm sure there's got to be something similar available somewhere in Europe but I don't have any idea who that is. Good luck.

I have talen a Quick look and there isnt any lhd hybrid headlamps for sale yet.
You Can search eBay.de its called scheinwerfer in german.
But you might also need bumper and helmet i Think there is difference.
And the worst is these projectors have really poor light with the original HIR2 halogen bulb.
So you will have to find HID or LED to get Good light.

Just to clarify, the DRL position actually will run the low beams at a reduced output. Some of the SE models had the LED DRLs so you'd also need whatever makes that work to use these lights as intended.

Probably a load resistor of some kind, I imagine. In my car, I know the DRL position runs the low beams at regular voltage compared to full on position. I tested the output voltage in both switch positions when I decided to put LED bulbs in the factory housings to replace standard halogen H4 bulbs.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThe power is actually pulsed, so the bulb gets full 12v, but not the current it needs for full intensity.

I have my DRL wired as my fogs, with a cap, so the replay doesn't see the pulsed current on my 07.

I could wired it with any lights I want, but I was just lazy to fish wires through the firewall.

Apologies, I misread your comment. I thought you said you have part numbers.

Hello 534 dollar a light plus shipping.

I wish they had the black housing ones from the Active. do you have those part #'s ?

theres a silver capped one and a black capped one.

im picky but I have black housing lights now so Im just trying to avoid that ugly piece of silver.


will take it if I can but if you could take a quick look for me :D ?

yea, OEM parts are expensive. Especially for the yaris because there is a tiny aftermarket, especially especially because these parts are not original to USDM so of course they're 500+ each corner, unfortunately

my initial post had an eBay link with the black bezel lights, but I didn't find a part number. I'll keep snooping.

Good stuff here!

Questions

Are these Euro hybrid headlights LED projectors or are they just halogen projectors?
Has anyone actually got these to work on a US Model w/ DRLs?


I'm thinking of picking up a 2018 3 dr LE and I'd like to put a set of these projector headlights. if they're halogens, I'd probably look into retrofitting HID projectors in their place.

[HolsonY]

For the weekend, I am driving a US spec 2017 Yaris L rental with the H4 halogen reflector headlights. I assume the circuitry has not changed much and the 2018's the same too.

Here are my findings:

Confirmed as IllusionX mentioned (Thanks!) that DRL is pulse width modulated low beam (not quite as bright as full intensity)
The headlight does not have a single harness like in some other cars, each bulb/light has its own connector (see pic of the H4 connector for the low/high beam light)


Add'l Assumptions:

The turn signal connector is the same between the projector and non projector headlights
The LED DRL has its own connector (12V)
The OEM halogen HIR2 / 9012 project is a bi-halogen projector and has a trigger input for the shield solenoid for high beam and flash to pass
We don't want to cut up the standard wiring harness
Difficult or impossible to just get a headlight harness and reprogram the ECU. I don't know if the wiring harness for the headlight is a short one that can be replaced with the SE one and reprogram the ECU.


I think to make the conversion work with above assumptions we would need something to split the low beam and DRL signals. I've drafted it in the attached diagram (apologies to EE's out there for the non-EE shapes and lines!)

Question is... how do you split the low beam and DRL correctly. A quick search yielded nothing but I assume such a box can be made or purchased.

If I were going to do this, I would probably swap out the HIR2 projector with either an LED or HID projector. In fact, the more I think about this... buying an SE is probably a better approach! Now what if one wants a 2Dr?

Thoughts/Comments on assumptions/approach?

[IllusionX]

I'm not sure if the later models DRL module is the same as my 07. If you could find where the signal comes from, then you could just reroute it to anything you like.

Mine is wired to the fog lights for DRL.
