I put it this way: can you see farther on a sunny day or at night with the low beams on? Of course on a sunny day. So, light is GOOD. MORE light is better, as long as you're not blinding other drivers (either oncoming cars or the car in front of you.... people forget that high beams in your rearview are realllllllly annoying). Also wholeheartedly agree with your statement about people who won't install a new bulb and continue to use the high beams everywhere, blinding other drivers. Sheeesh, buy a new bulb already!!

One thing I will rant about though, is the abundant use of HID bulbs in housings designed for halogens around here. Its straight up dangerous. |

I drove from Edmonton to Jasper, and then to Saskatoon going back through Edmonton. The population you mention (plus add some sort of 'goat' that can graze on a very steep incline, and others) visible from the road between Edmonton and Jasper was astounding....and probably small potatoes compared to way up your way.

Seeing them doesn't matter, often-times.
About three years ago, coming home late after a meeting far away...I was on a secondary road. And out comes a deer...I was doing about fifty and saw him immediately. Road was open so I swerved left. He also veered; he was running at a steep angle to me. And he'd have been all right except he stopped and turned his head to look. I took his head off at 25 mph. It was a light enough hit that the airbags didn't go off. Hell, it didn't even slow me down much; just a loud THUNK. There was no light and little shoulder and I didn't have any tools to put the deer out of his misery, if that was called for, so I kept going until I got to a lit crossroads. The fender was driven back about three inches and crumpled; jammed into the door. The door was damaged with the black plastic low at the base of the window, forward, busted off. The headlight was broken off its mountings and hanging by wires. And the bumper fascia was bloodied and torn. Twenty-five miles an hour. And I saw the bugger and couldn't do anything. |

I am interested in this set up for my lights. Would you be kind enough to share what I would need to duo for wiring to get this result? I do have a wiring harness running the headlights, separate low beam and high beam but the low beam cuts off when the high beam is selected. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

The Yaris is already setup so when you pull the stalk, both hi and low beam are on, but if you push it, then only the highs are on.
