Hey guys i recently did a retrofit and a couple of hours ago, i notice that when my alarm goes off, my HID low beams and the ones that light up. anyway i can reroute the alarm so that it lights up the high beams instead?

BeetC

what kind of alarm do you have, the OE Toyota alarm?

Dakine

Yeah OEM Scion that comes as an option.

Daskid

Do you really want to make the hi beams light up?

Dakine

Wouldnt it be better to light up the highs than the HID's?

stCx86

you're afraid that your HIDs will get damaged because it keeps flickering on and off huh??

Why not just make the parking lights flash instead? Im sure its pretty simple wiring, because the Scion Security isn't technicly factory, its installed at the dealer. You should just be able to snip a wire and re route it to another wire.

I have my aftermarket alarm set to light up just the parking lights. You might want to do that instead of the hi beams

Dakine

well im retrofitted, so i have no parking lights. The only parkings lights i'll be having soon will be ccfl's. But how would i rewire them?

mMmMmM, not too sure but do it soon or dont set your alarm cause you dont want to hurt your ballast?

Yeah HID's arent meant to be turned on and off because of warmup lol,

Dakine

any techs on how to rewire?

I had the same prob. Took it to the dealer and they just pulled a wire so only my parking lights flash. Do it soon so your ballast does not get damaged.

Try to trace the scion security module. Then find the wire from the module that originally makes the parking lights light up. Search around for the wire color coding. Then disconnect them from your low beams. Pull that out and tap them together with you hi beams. I think that'll fix it. Easy to say, but I think you need time and patience to do it.

phoenixtc

Nope, took him all of two minutes.
