Yaris DRL Halogen Bulb LED replacement
Hello,
my wife's Yaris has a factory build DRL using however halogen bulbs. I would like to change the bulbs with plug and play LED replacements. Does someone know and use LED bulbs which will fit with no issues? What I was able to find in the owners manuals is that the bulb is Wedge base bulbs (clear), but it has no dimensions no nothing... All suggestions are welcomed. |

the DRL is the high beam/low beam bulb at low voltage. (in the US) the Wedge bulb is used during normal lights operation. the wedge bulb is a size 194. the high/low is a 9003 or a H4

Here in Europe, DRL lights are using separate bulbs.
I will give it a try to see if I will be able to find something with Wedge bulb size you gave me. Thanks for the hint. Last edited by todorakiggg; 10-18-2016 at 03:38 AM. |

OK, this turns out to be double filament wedge bulb...
So it looks like, it is type 580 with bulb size 7443. (even though I am not 100% sure) I am just wondering, why is this info not on the user manual.... |

Solution found. These bulbs fitted just perfectly and working very well. Instalation took me 3 mins, plug and play replacement of the factory bulbs and that was all. Quite satisfied with the end result.

Finally after some reading I have ordered these bulbs.
Installation was very easy, just plug and play, it took me around 3 mins for both bulbs. The result is very, very satisfactory. The light is amazing, no error lights no nothing. Even now I think that the turn signal is more visible, because it is clearly different from the original yellowish DRL light. As of now I can highly recommend the bulbs, but I got to admit, they are expensive... |

Solution found and works perfectly well.
If someone is interested, please let me know and I will send you more details for the LED bulbs I've used. (I tried twice to post the link here, but I am still waiting on the moderators to approve it, maybe they didn't). |
