What EWD do you have?

I have the US 2001 EWDs. From what I have found with the 2nd generation Yaris, there are differences in the US and European cars. So, I am not completely sure that your 2001 matches the EWDs that I have. With the 2nd generation Yaris, the European DRL module is wired much different from ours, where you can't just disconnect it to bypass it.

Does the EWD which you have "say" that I have to disconnect just a yellow wire. Or does it say that in US 2001 Yaris DRL have to be completely disconnect.

jsut a side note.... when i had the problem i didn't have any HID's installed so if the problem is dirrectly related to them then i dont think the module will be too much help..... give it a shot if u like

So... Yellow or blue?

With how the module is integrated, I would say that for the 2001 US one, removing the module would make the lights not come on at all, so based on that disconnecting the yellow looks like the required method.


For the second question of Yellow or Blue, he is talking about a 2nd Gen Yaris DRL, which is wired completely different than the first gen DRL module.

I just noticed that if light switch is turned "off" high beams doesn't work. When I turn lights "on" highbeams work too. Is that some kind of glue how DRL work in my car...?

UPDATE! I finally got DRL removed and like CScott said any lights did no light up. Including headlights, taillights or panel lights.
CTScott you said that I have to cut yellow wire from DRL socket. Could you explain what that wire is and what it does. If I cut that wire, tail lights, panel lights and so on working when turning lights on from circuit braker (don't know what the controller next to the stering wheel is in english)?

Do you see a Yellow wire between two green wires? If so, that yellow is the feed to the DRL module from the alternator. It is a signal that tells the DRL module that the engine is running. When the engine is off, you can still manually turn the headlights on, but the DRLs won't come on. So, disconnecting that signal should fool the DRL module into thinking that it should not turn the DRLs on.

Yes, there is yellow between two greens. I was surprised because all lights stopped working when I unplugged the DRL. If I cut that wire tail lights as well as headlights still working when I manually turn on the lights? Right?

I believe so. To be safe, either pop the pin out of the connector, or cut the wire with enough left on the connector side to be able to reconnect if that doesn't work.

hmm... I just noticed that headlights light up even engine is off. Does this still work by cutting yellow wire?

Yes. That should still work the same.
