If you have a headlight with a H4 bulb:
low beam - 55 W
high beam - 60 W

If you have the low beam on and you pull the stalk, you have also high beam on. This is only for a short time usage.

If you have the low beam on and you push the stalk, you have low beam off and high beam on. This is for long time usage.

If you count both together you would have 115 W in this headlight, too much for a long time.


You could install retrofit headlights. With one bulb for low beam and one bulb for high beam.
Then you have the low beam on if high beam on (push and pull the stalk).
(Oh, no, you have the 2009-2011 Yaris like I, then not this way.
Or, you could install the 2006-2008 front bumper, then the retrofit headlight would fit.)

Or, you could install additional high beam light on the bumper.
They would switch on additional with your high beam.
(I think about to do this way, because my Yaris can't get retrofit headlights, because no manufacturer produce them for 2009-2011 years. )

Or, you could install a HID lens kit in the original headlights.
Maybe this high beam (maybe also low beam) is brighter than normal H4...
This could only the members tell which installed it.
