They are the actual headlight bulbs, pulsed to be a bit less bright and hence prolong bulb life.

Not easily, as there are quite a few wiring differences between cars built with an without DRLs.

No DRL ?? Good??

I picked up my 2010 3 door HB last week, 6 months old w 4600 miles and found this wonderful site. Lots of helpful info. I've been thinking about several DIY mods: removing the DRL & maybe the back Toyota name. But , Saturday I checked and I have no DRL. DO you think the first owner did the disabling? As I don't want it anyway I'm probably not going to do anything.

The car came with most packages & options, but I was disappointed yesterday to discover it does not have adjustable intermittent wipers, only fixed one speed. That should be standard. Is it something that could be added?

DRLs were eliminated on 2010's.

For the true intermittent wiper piece, check out this thread for a DIY on replacing the stalk, with a Prius one.

Wow, thanks for the info. I'm happy about the no DRL. The manual says how it works 'if equipped'.

The wiper mod looks simple. But, I'm having trouble finding a low price like you got. Will call some junk yards maybe. The online dealer price was about $148.

OK - Good to know. For US Yaris elimination of DRL is listed in the "New Car Features" for 2010. The Canadian ones still having them explains them still being documented as "if equipped" in the 2010 EWDs.

One other quick thing that you can try is unplugging the green wire in pin 8 (the green wire next to the brown wire). This wire is the input from the alternator that tells the DRL module that the engine is running. With it removed, the DRL will think that the engine is not running and therefore won't waste the power to run the DRLs.

Sorry,
Once I tried; i pinned out wrong cable :( It didn't worked.
Then I didn't have enough time to try it. New marriage, new house, moving, holidays and lots of works.

I will try in the following days and give my reply. Thanks for your helps.

I finally disabled on my 2010 canadian model.

I cut the green wire coming from the alternator and another gray wire coming from the alternator. I'll take photos tomorrow about which cables i cut.

I've had my Yaris only 2 weeks now, and am so happy to get the info on how to disconnect the damn DRL's! Just last evening, upon arrival home from a 25 mile freeway drive, as I pulled into my garage I realized I had been driving on the DRL's, and of course no tail lights. Hey I know it is a supposed saftey issue but in my case not so much!
My Toyota service manager I called was only good for telling me there was NO way to disable them, HA!
