- DISABLED DayTime Running Lights How To- 2007 Yaris! -

[Chris07LB]

Welcome.

[why?]

so excited that this worked. So everyone do this since the new ones won't have drl's, the lucky peoples.

Do any of you know if the relay assembly can be installed in a yaris that did not come with DRL?

If it is possible, let me know if you want to sell your module, I'd like to have DRL's

The wiring changes are fairly significant to add DRLs to a non-DRL equipped car. Did your 09 come without DRLs, or did you buy a used one where someone disabled the DRLs?

Thank you for your detailed how to.
I'll try in my 2010 tomorrow.

It definitely can't be turned off by the computer, as it is a completely stand alone device.

Is your car right hand or left hand drive?

It took me less than 5 mins, seriously, to take this out. Three screws, pop off panel and unplug the relay/box. (I left my little box in the OEM location, just unplugged it.)

In that case, the running light relay module should be located in the same place as the picture below. The running light module is the black box to the right of the steering column with the brown and white label.

I think they cause more issues. I have seen a Yaris twice now, with the day times on and no tail lights at night. I stopped one and said, your lights are not on. lol She said, yes they are, I said NO, they are the daytime lights, you have to turn the headlight switch.

[Kaya B.]

Yes,

I found the relay. It's different from yours :(

My car is Left side driven 2010 Yaris LS(Canadian Model)

The relay is under the (i don't know how to say in English.) place for putting personal things. at the right side (passenger side) near the air condition air filter. it is at the right side under the passenger airbag cancelattion button.

when i unplug the wires the headlights never on. if i turn the lights on or off...

your part number is 82810-52040 but mine is 82810-52060 :(

so i have to plug it back to power headlights :(

(sorry for my bad English.)

Glovebox or glove compartment.

(I doubt a lot of them get used mainly for carrying gloves, though.)

I think there is something different to disable the daytime running lights in the Canadian models. It is federal law that the lights must be on at all times, and I am sure that is why there is a different box to control them.

I found the 82810-52060 DRL module listed in the parts catalog from Japan. I have the wiring diagram for it, as well. It is wired into the car a little bit differently from the one on our US cars.

Looking at the wiring diagram, I believe that you can disable the daytime running lights, but still have the headlights function correctly by cutting the blue wire, which is next to the violet wire. After cutting the wire, you would need to tape or wire cap the two ends.

If you try it, cut it about 5 cm from the blue connector, to leave enough to reconnect it, if it doesn't work (Although, I am fairly confident that it will work).

When you say nothing changed, do you mean that the running lights still remained on?
