ok jeff, you can put in the pin 12(2G)out front controller threshold circuit is a Ralay 12 v zener diodeVpi 6v, this circuit detects the voltage output rms mosfeet and block while when the hi bean is (12V) on the passes,this may help!

Yes I thought about that before, but it is not 6V, it is 50% duty cycle 12V.

I could build an opposite timer circuit to prevent the high beam from activating until 12V has been on long enough, but it's a lot of work, haha.

I totally figured it out on my drive home from work. There are 2 ways to do this relatively easily:

1. Convert the PWM 50% duty cycle to voltage and then use a 9V or so zener diode to prevent lower voltage from passing. Not bad.
2. The halogen bulb is on in 2 situations: DRL or High, DRL can only occur when low beams are off, High can only occur when low beams are on. Just wire in a relay so that power only goes to the bulb when low beams are on. Very easy to wire in, and cheap. Yay!

I'm going to go with option 2.

you can turn on high w low beams off.I do not understand #2 the drl and high are in the same line , I think the only way is option 1

There is no pure high. There is low, and low + high. High never comes on by itself, it is always on with low. Flashing high is still low + high.

Option 2 is how I will do it, next week sometime.

now understand the option 2 one Ralay (double pole) 1 is open when the low is off (G2) not drl,and when the low will be on autoenergisa the Ralay andthe second contact and keeps it on the relay and
Now pass the high beam. jeff you are the master!!!!!!

So this is how I have my car wired now, and it would work fine if you have a car without DRL, or a car with DRL disabled:



This is how I plan on wiring my car next week, and should be good for anyone who cannot disable DRL on their 2IS:

You can get the diagrams on http://techinfo.toyota.com/

I added the relays this afternoon and everything is working 100% as expected. LED DRL's only.

jeff, the is350 11 + (canadian version) comes with the option of the relay controlling the hi beam(1) and
drl (0) or you designed this(in diagram #2)?
sorry I have no access to toyotainfo (that's for the MASTER!!!!!)haha...

All I want for Christmas is to have my 2012 Sewell plug and play headlights that were installed on my 2006 IS 350 to work like this: When in the AUTO position during the day: LEDs are ON (don't care about 50% or 100% brightness) / ugly yellow DRLs OFF (Currently in AUTO mode during the day, LEDs are OFF and ugly yellow DRLs are ON) I really know nothing about cars, so the easiest way to do this in a step-by-step DIY would be awesome. Thanks.

For those who need a connector diagram. What was posted with the relay above the numbers corespond to wiring locations on the harness. Hope this helps as I was confused.
