probably not a good idea

has anybody ever thought of, if its even possible to make the turn signals lamps be the DRLs (e.g., firebirds, corvettes) instead of the headlights, probably impossible but thought id ask.

if your asking what i think, then the answer is to disable your drl's

I don't know for sure, but it just sounds like it would be a nightmare to make it work correctly.

I agree with Eazy, just disable 'em.

^^^^^Agreed, thats what I did on mine, that way you can run with no lamps, just the ambers (fogs/turns), or full lamps. Read the sticky on how to Disable. Without any info in your profile we don't know what your working with. But on my 03' it was a 5 minute job.

i just disabled my drl's using the sticky a couple days ago...its oh so simple, and the easiest way to get what you're lookin for! ^^^^^that would be the real way to do it, but its definately more of a headache than i think you want

May I ask why you would disconnect you DRL's?

Some people, just for the hell of it... others, because they converted to HID and it's necessary to disable the DRL's.

disable your drls so that you dont annoy other people at the drive in movies.

Its also nice to be able to flash people by turning your headlights on and off to let them know something...flashing your high beams makes them think you are mad at them. This is useful to signal truckers to let them pull in front of you, or to signal on coming drivers of an obstruction in the road or a radaring cop. Theoretically you should save money by not running drls because your bulbs last longer and you dont have to run your alternator as hard to keep the battery charged.

To answer the question, I disabled my drls and then I sometimes drive with just my parking lights on...similar results to the amber drls that corvettes and camaros have.

the DRL's should only be on when the car is in gear. so unless you watch drive in movies with the car in gear, that shouldn't be a problem.

You can still turn your headlights on and off with the drls on.

Either way, you're gonna have to disable your DRL's to accomplish this.

But what about wiring them to a constant of some sort (IGN or whatever) so they're on when the car is on?
