The diode connection is in the first pic. Temporary but functional.

In this image, you can make more details, I 2 cable connected to the diode. Those are the negative im correct? I see to red taped together what are those?

Thank you for your response.

Hi fredovvti,

In the image showing the relays, yes, I connected the low beam negative and high beam negative terminals.

The relays are part of a harness I purchased to get the ballasts to turn on. Sadly, in an effort to get this mod working I butchered the harness quite a lot trying to get it to work. I'm not sure I can get it back to the way it was wired when I bought it but it works fine now.

Initially, I connected both negatives and all lights came on, all the time - Not good. Eventually I discovered that all I needed to do was connect both negatives using a diode to keep high beams off during low beam operation and during high beam operation keep the low beams on.

I am very happy with this mod because I can flash to see ahead at a corner without losing the HID wide-angle view.

That is correct. The diode only connects the negative wires.

Looking forward to hear how it goes for you once you get your harness.

Glad to have been of assistance

I am happy to see it worked for you too

The lights are just amazing

I like the way you connected your diode. I should have done it the same way to save on the time I spent removing the contacts from the relay connectors

Interesting Thread....I do not believe my 2010 3D Hatch is Negative Switched...I purchased "Headlight Revolution" H4 LED Headlights and plug and play installed normally last summer... After buying some "No Name" LEDs that also worked normally but had crappy output...Maybe they got rid of that with the DRL?

The cheapest LED headlights bulbs have auto sensing polarity. You can connect whichever way you want it will always work.

I will have to check that...Because I also had installed a H4 relay harness when I was running the 100W/130W Halogens (Which I removed when I went to LED) and it worked normally as well...and it was installed into my Chevrolet after the Yaris...and I thought I checked the outputs before I installed that harness...I seriously do not think the newer NON-DRL ones are Negative switched.

(And those H4 were from the motorcycle world, they do not work backwards!)

this should help. Power flows as same way no matter if its ground or positive switched. But yes Yaris are ground switched 06-11 for sure.

OK I went out and tested my car...It does feed Backwards...I am curious how the Relays in the HD wiring harness allowed it to work, those relays have a diode in the trigger coil to prevent back feeding? And because I purchased it for a "Normal" vehicle then used it on a "Backwards" vehicle, then installed it on a Normal Vehicle...either those relays work both ways and or the diodes were non-existent... Either Way seems the LED lights have gotten "smarter" than when they first started making them for Motorcycles...they wouldn't work or would "smoke" if you gave them power thru the Ground! (Very Interesting)

(The power actually flows Backwards thru the bulb, This is DC not AC.)
