Wiring driving lights on 1992 Paseo

[glawson77]

Have fitted some driving lights to the missus 1992 Toyota Paseo, but need to know where I can find a wire that is powered only when the high beam is on that I can send to the relay.

There is constant 12v going to all 3 wires in the sockets that go to the headlight bulbs.

According to the wiring diagram there is a relay for the highbeam but am buggered if I can find it.

If there is someone who has fitted driving lights to a Paseo, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gordon

Check the pins when the lights are actually turned on - they are ground-switched so when they are turned off all three pins could be floating at 12V with no current flow. You should find that one pin supplies 12V to both high and low-beam circuits, then the combination switch (ie the stalk on the steering column) will ground whichever circuit is needed.

I don't know exactly what circuit the Paseo has but on the Corolla of the same vintage the headlight relay controls both low and high beam (probably because they are a combined bulb)
