call me a dork... but i like the DRL. i have hurd all the reasons before... but for me, i like 'em. i cant stand it when im driving at dusk, in the rain, and some moron is driving around without thier lights on. i can barely see them. if they had DRLs, it wouldnt happen. i dont want to be that moron that people cant see because i forgot to put my lights on....

You're not a dork.. you want what you want. Thats fine.

If you read the post, you will find the reason for ME needing to disable the DRL's is because you can't run an HID system without it disabled.

I still have my headlights on, day or night when Im driving.

Thx for the tips of diabling the daily headlight for yaris...I absolutely try before I got my HID installed...!!!

Some of my friends helped me to disable my daily driveing light on my STI before (since I have HID on), but they also helped me to bypass the Fog light so I can still have the fog lights on during the daily driving, and there is no problem from insurance or cops...

Since I got my yaris, is there any chance to diable the Driving headlights but I can turn on the Fog light during the daily driving?

I am not a tech guy and hope someone can have any idea to do so...

Nobodys advocating driving with your lights off. But to save your aftermarket HID's you must dissconnect the DRY relay. You can still switch your headlights on during the day if you want, your just not obligated to.

Treyz · 02-01-2007, 06:43 PM

what about what I mentioned in the last page? Is there a way to just switch it instead .. I'd rather have the option of whether I want to have DRL's or not (comes in handy when trying to be stealth at night).

SimmZ · 08-24-2006, 08:03 AM

Removing DRL is highly illegal in Canada. One of my best friend's mother get an heavy ticket because her DRL stop working by themselve because of a DRL burned relay. She drive a 2001 Nissan Sentra (base model, sand color) and this is not the kind of car the police are looking for at first. But she simply go doing her grocery, then come back at home with an heavy ticket she she absolutely DON'T KNOW her DRL stop working. That freakin' DRL module is really expensive to replace too! Very bad day for her.

Just my 2¢

*Chris07LB* · 08-24-2006, 05:02 PM

Lucky for us, there are NO laws for DRL's in the US.

Keep in mind... This mod also disables the "Brake" light warning that you have when your parking brake on.

It was the same on a VW I had. The DRL relay also supplies power to the parking brake warning light when the ignition is on.

Do you speak from experience?

With the DRL's disabled, and the parking hand brake in the up/locked position, the brake light in the dash cluster DOES light up. Engine running or not, headlights on or off. When its in the down position, the lights off.

Weird that your is different.

ketel0ne · 09-21-2006, 02:30 PM

My ebrake light still comes on as well.

Sorry about that... I was wrong. When I saw the wire from the DRL relay to the parking brake in the wiring diagram, I assumed it was the same as my VW. In reality, the DRL's don't come on until the parking brake is disengaged. That's what the connection is for. Oops...

finally,

here is the schema.

Idahotom · 10-26-2010, 05:23 PM

I've had my Yaris only 2 weeks now, and am so happy to get the info on how to disconnect the damn DRL's! Just last evening, upon arrival home from a 25 mile freeway drive, as I pulled into my garage I realized I had been driving on the DRL's, and of course no tail lights. Hey I know it is a supposed saftey issue but in my case not so much!
My Toyota service manager I called was only good for telling me there was NO way to disable them, HA!
