- DISABLED DayTime Running Lights How To- 2007 Yaris! - - Page 7 - Toyota Yaris Forums

You've been telling people it works without even measuring what the wires are yet? If you've ever looked at an ECU harness, they have the most bizarre colors for ground or power. NEVER EVER guess a wire is ground because it's black, or a wire is power because it's red.

I don't know foglight wiring, so I can't answer that question.

i havent told anyone it works im saying it should work..there a difference there..i just really cant wait to do it on mine..again we are going in circles here..the method should work..im giving a 99% only thing holding that back is the power running on the fogs... if hid ballast is relayed and it wont matter...even though YOURE confirming that there is 2 ground wire and one power it should still work! assuming the fogs has the same set up.. " switch fog ground to low beam ground". without check the voltmeter the worst thing that can happen should be blowing your fuse"... but hey "VOLTMETER" will be our best friend here.. im waiting for "VIOLIN" to respond maybe i dont have to use it! well see...

How about starting a new post on this subject..

Thanks for the easy mod, Chris. This will be the first mod I'll do when I pick up my hatchback later this week.

The issue of legality doesn't concern me in the least. I hate driving around with lights on all the time. And I hate driving around a well-lit town at night being fooled into the notion that my real headlamps are on. DRLs are the most useless passive automotive safety feature ever.

Christopher · 08-07-2007, 08:05 PM

Thanks for the info!! I assume the headlights still go on and off by using the switch on the stalk? Chris

tapuleo · 08-20-2007, 07:46 PM

Got my Yaris in Washington and it has DRL's. I don't mind 'em though, but have been caught at dusk a couple of times because I forgot to turn the rest of the lights on. At night it's easier to not forget because I can't see anything else on the dash. :)

I suppose if I were a criminal, and wanted to sneak around in my Yaris at night, I'd want to pull the plug...or even a potential victim, hiding from a criminal, it'd be nice to be able to shut off the lights. I've seen way too many movies.

at first i didn't mind them but then i got my fog lights and i wanna just use the fog lights and the drl take away from the look of them... thanks!

I got a warning ticket last night because of DRLs. When they are on I see lights but have no tail lights hence the pull over.

Rotorheader · 11-15-2008, 04:38 PM

That exact same thing happened to me last night, except I didn't get a warning ticket ~ just a "Go and sin no more." This morning, I removed the relay and did a quick test run; No problems.

Snyprwlf47 · 11-15-2008, 06:05 PM

Im gonna go do it right now....Whats the use of hiding from the cops at night if your DRL are as bright as your headlights. ^_-

Rotorheader · 11-16-2008, 09:59 PM

So did you do it???

Yeah I actually waited till I was at work...It worked on my 07 LB!

RomGrr · 03-06-2009, 04:20 PM

Did this on an 07 liftback today. I'd say it's closer to an Atari cartridge than a pack of cigs, but to each his own

Thanks Chris. Easy as pie w/ the writeup.

Any chance your insurance company would use the fact that you have modified your lighting on the car as a large loophole to deny you payment in case of accident?

Highly unlikely. There are no DRL laws here in the States. My state doesn't even do inspections any more. Lots of crap piles rolling around the roads around here.

*Chris07LB* · 03-07-2009, 11:08 AM

No.

But in CANADA, anythings possiable!

cyberfrogg · 03-08-2009, 03:23 PM

Is there a way to add DRL's to my '07 sedan?
