What filament does the DL running light use? - Toyota Yaris Forums

RedRide · 06-22-2009, 02:40 AM

Since the Yaris use a double filament headlight bulb, (a single bulb for both low and hight beam) I'm curious about which filement the DLRL uses.

i will look on the EWD and make sure but i am 95% sure that it uses the high filament... give me a couple minutes...

uses low beam in Canada. Pretty sure it is the same in the States.

Most cars use the high beam at lower voltage for DLRL.

I assume that the Yaris does the same but, i just wanted a definitive answer.
I guess I will still have to wait on this.

1. walk out to your vehicle.
2. turn on vehicle.
3. look to see which filament is lit ;)

heheeh sorry man, it just appeared to be the most definitive solution.

On my 2009 daytime running ligts use a separate smaller bulb located apart from the primary bulb - very clever and efficient set-up. Or am is not getting the question?

i think you're referring to the 'city light' the 194 bulb.

Not really. The view of the headlight bulb is obscured by some sort of decroativ/reflective shield.

From the 09 service manual:

(2) The Running light relay assembly controls the on/off operation of the following part.
• Headlight (Low)
