Xenon-Vision Bi-Xenon HID Install

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. There is NO need to disable the Daytime Running Light (DRL) module if you have the Bi-Xenon HID kit. The reason being that the DRLs will run off the low beam and will not flicker as I initially thought. If you have the non-Bi-Xenon (no HID hi-beam), then you WILL have to disable the DRLs (from what I understand).

2. If you happened to have disable the DRLs, it is likely that your interior dome light will not work, as was my experience. No idea why the DRL module is connected to the dome light but I'm not a Toyota engineer.

3. There are two things that look like grounding wires in the kit ... they actually are not. They are connected to the battery terminals. The wire coming from the two fuses go to the POSITIVE terminal while the wire coming off the control unit go to the NEGATIVE terminal. I unscrewed the nut that helps tighten the clamp around the battery and then placed the wire in between the clamp and the nut.

4. The clips only fit one way except for the one on the ballast. You will see in the video how they should connect but the red wire should go to the POSITIVE terminal.

5. There is a metal bar in the front of the car with holes in it. Run the wiring through that to ensure that the wires don't melt on the radiator or get caught in the fan (that would be bad news!).

6. Lay your wires out to get a sense of how things connect together.

7. It is normal to have one of the original headlight wiring harness not connected.

All in all, the install is very easy. I did it in about an hour and a half but if I knew what I just wrote above, it probably would have taken 30 minutes.

Hope this help anyone that is installing the Bi-Xenon kit in their Yaris! If you have any questions, please quote this post and I will do my best to answer them for you. Cheers

Hey what do you mean you don't need to disable DRL?

I wanted to order bi-xenon HID for my Honda 2008 CRV, but my mechanic said he will have to disable the DRL because DRL runs on low powered high beam. If I wanna keep my DRL working, I need to get the low beam HID, high beam halogen bulb =(

the bi-xenon sounds so much better cuz it has the glare shield too!

[llcooljayce]

@BruceLeeSXV The particular Bi-Xenon HID lights that I purchased did not require that the HIDs be disabled. I had read some time ago that they did need to be but in my particular setup with my Yaris, they did not need to be. Your mileage may vary ...

@llcooljayce

so your DRL is full power HID?

[llcooljayce]

@BruceLeeSXV As far as I know ...

[raulred93]

whats the difference between bi-xenon and regular xenon?

[llcooljayce]

@raulred93 Bi-xenon is low beam and high beam.  Regular is just low beam

@llcooljayce Nice comeback, only took you 29 days

You can put ground to a battery all my.mobile amateur radio rigs which are high grade state in instructions for black which is negative / ground to go on negative post.of battery and these are 500 watt radios

@hyfrSilaz71 The people you blind when you drive by probably think differently.

[jeefleeyuiling]

dam.. what he say...???fuck off ,back hom.. how to explain??

[hyfrSilaz71]

first off this shit is a ripoff, there is so much shit u gotta do to make them work,,,fuses on the batteryyyyy like wtfs that shit all about, and i put mine in halogen housing and they look and function fine

[spoonerdee]

People please don't put HID's into halogen housings. Only idiots do this.

[Clipzin33]

@BruceLeeSXV who caresif he has a glare shield aka "shroud"......he but them in a factory housing so theres fuckin glare everywhere

[B3ASTSNiP3R95]

you must have felt so shitty when u found out that that wasnt a ground wire but in fact had to be connected to the positive,rookie mistake lol, but good job none the less

[Island728]

hey I have a yaris with DRL module too, is there any problem since you installed this bi-xenon without disabling DRL? thanks

[AdamKNAC]

They do make single Xenon HID kits that do have a hi/lo beam function so that if your car uses single bulbs for both hi and low beams, you do not lose the function of your hi beams.

[iM3E46]

If ur DRL runs off your low beam then u can keep them but if they run off high beam then u must disable them cause ur just blow ur lights, well thats what i heard.

[TheMowingking]

Where did you get them??
