Tony Moloney 0 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I have a 2015 Toyota Yaris. Both Daytime Running Lights (Near & Offside) have blown. Is the daytime running lamp (filament) in the same bulb as the Headlight/Full Beam? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Devon Aygo 989 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 There are two types: Standard models have a shared twin filament W21/5w these perform both DRL @ 21w and dim to 5w as sidelight Higher models have a Shared LED setup bright for DRL dimming for sidelight Its unusual for them to blow very for both, just a point after turning the ignition key on the DRL only turn on with the engine running, in gear (auto) & parking brake off, once on they then stay illuminated, dimming when side/headlights are on so if you were just turning the ignition on then getting out to check they would still be off.

Tony Moloney 0 Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 Hi Lee Many thanks, this is just what I needed to know, i.e., the Daytime Running Light is part of the Sidelight. Actually, only one of them had blown. The other must have had a dodgy connection because when I took it out to look at it, noticed it seemed ok and put it back, it started working and has been ok since. Once more, thanks for the info Quote Link to post Share on other sites
