How do I keep both front turn signals on during the day?(without any other lights on)
I have a non-RS Camaro and would like to know if anybody has figured this out yet. Currently I'm disabling the DRL's and turning on the parking lights, but I do not want the rear lights and front fender lights to come on when I do that. I would really like the front-turn-lights to both stay on because they are much brighter. Is there anyway to have both front-turn-lights on during the day without any other lights on. So when I turn on the blinkers, complete the turn and go back to both of them on.
I LOVE THE WAY THIS LOOKS ON THE VETTES. - |

I don't see how that would be illegal. As long as they still blink when he uses the signal it should be fine. Would probably take some wiring trickery that I am in no way qualified to attempt.

Illegal in the changing of vehicle operation? I would think more warrenty issues because you remember the old cobalt, and I think HHR? I Don't remember but they both had yellow DRL. It would though be ackward to see 2 yellow DRL then one starts to blink and one steady imo.

Do you mean parking lights, cause I'm pretty sure thats what you are seeing on the vette.

You would be altering the current requirements that the car was built to meet. EVEN a 55 Chevy had the rear lights come on with the front grill ( parking lamps) were on without headlights. Some lawyer then judge will find you 50 % at fault.

There is nothing illegal about it, and many cars used the front parking lights as their DRLs (4th Gens, the Corvette, etc). There are no laws around DRLs so as long as your turn signals blink when you signal, and your brake lights light up when you hit the brakes youre fine.
As for this, there is no simple way to do it without some serious amount of wiring. The lights are all electronically controlled so you can't just tap the power wires for your headlights to run your parking lights instead. Your simplest way would be to wire a power switch to a second set of wires to the lights. HOWEVER you would lose the flasher ability and you risk frying the brains of the electronic light controller box. Your other option is to pull out the lights and drill holes and install 2 bulbs on a separate circuit with a switch. Make sure they are lower wattage than the turn signal bulbs so people will be able to see you signaling. IMO sounds like a huge pain in the ass to me, and not simple enough to get your intended look..

One thing to consider is that with the old run the turn signal on for DRL's having them on at all times would burn them out alot sooner. that is the reason they were changed on most cars to running the headlights (usually the brights) at a reduced voltage...
I for one thought that style DRL looked worse than the headlight type.
