Are the DRLs dim halogens? It was my understanding that non-RS cars would be like most other GM cars and use the front amber indicators.

On my Cobalt, the amber turn indicators are the DRLs, but my auto-headlights are really screwy. The auto-headlight system also controls the interior lights, but on sunny days my interior lights will go into night mode (so the radio display and DIC fade to invisibility in the bright sunlight) and the headlights will come on. The auto-headlights only work correctly on overcast days. I tried getting it fixed but the tech said that's normal operation. I call bull on that, but I haven't gotten it over to a different dealer yet. I'll try again next time it goes into service. I have a feeling it has to do with the light detector dome's placement behind the A-pillar, and if that is the case the Camaro solved that problem with front and center placement on the dash.
