Automatic headlight kit installation

Hi guys,
I recently purchased an automatic headlight kit for my 2012 yaris sedan. I need to figure out which of these are parking light wires, headlight wires, on wire, and 12V wire and battery ground wire.

Possibly a feature to switch them on via a sensor when it's dark enough.
I have it on my Yaris, standard from factory, but never use it. I'll decide when to switch my lights on thank you.
I did hear a BMW advertisement recently crowing about auto dipping headlights on one of their models, doubt it's that though. That surely is a recipe for annoying other drivers if they don't dip soon enough (is there a manual override?) and how would they know if you were approaching anther vehicle from behind?

Perhaps an automatic on after ignition and off with ignition making the switch obsolete. Some would argue that the headlight switch should be a thing of the past. I tend to agree.
People driving into the night or during storms without taillights illuminated is very dangerous. This is common in Canada where we have daytime running lights providing partial front lighting only.

The light blue large wire is the low beam headlight (ground that wire to turn them on).

The pink large wire is the high beam headlight (ground that wire to turn them on).

The green wire is the parking light wire (supply +12V to turn them on)

The white wire is an always on +12V that supplies power to the green wire via the headlight switch.

For an ignition switched power wire you have to look at the ignition switch connector - The pink wire on it is +12V switched power.

The white/black stripe wires are grounds

CTScott...I wired the system accordingly, however when I switch full beam it doesn't work. Likewise the system says it should switch off for 5 seconds when the car is started to avoid battery drain but it's actually starting the car with the headlight on when I turn the key. Could you please help.

Can you post the installation instructions? It sounds like either something is wired incorrectly or the unit is bad.
