city lights? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Just curious if all yari have this or 2009 plus models. When you flip on your parking lights i've noticed there is a light in the main headlamp that illuminates the headlamp with a soft light much softer than the DRL's if equipped. I remember this on older japanease cars and they were referred to as "City Lights" so anywho if you got them enjoy them! if you have DRL's might be worth disabling them for it I think I'm going to! btw I have a 2009 liftback stick

ya ive got them in mine. i replaced them with amber leds and i dont have drls. so with parking lights on and fogs on it looks awesome.

I have noticed that I have them. replacing them with amber LED's sounds like it may be fun...

mikenacarato - where's the DIY on that?

When I lived in Kansas City people that owned Celica's (the last body style anyways) would change them out for Bright Blue led lights. It looked great but im not sure on the leaglity of it thought about changing mine to red leds and putting them on a switch so I can turn them off when the head lights are on. Cops my not like them. But would look cool at the auto-x and for taking pictures!!

im not sure if there is one or not. its just like replacing a bulb though. i ordered 2 amber led 194 bulbs from superbrightleds.com

to be exact i ordered 2 of the WLED-A5 bulbs on this page http://superbrightleds.com/specs/bulb_specs.htm

i would go with 2 of the WLED-A6 bulbs though because i had to wiggle mine in there...the hole isnt very big
