I recently purchased a 2014 2SS Coupe. I do not see any DRL. My lights only come on at night or when it is dark. I looked in MyLink configuration and in the owners manual. I cannot find how to turn on the DRL or Halos unless it is dark and headlights are on. I also have fog lights. Am I missing something or is that how they're supposed to work?

your halos are your DRL's on a 2014.

They don't turn on except when dark. In other words, I have no lights on during the day at all. I must be missing something??

I just bought this '13 2ss and trying to figure out the same thing.

on a 13 with RS package your fogs are the DRL's (you dont really have fog lights) on 14/15 with RS package the halos are the DRL's.

do you have a auto. have someone stand in front of you and put it in drive. Thats how my truck is. DRLs only come on in gear.

Must be in drive for the halos to work (no matter day of night).
Pull up in front of a store front with glass windows or find a really big mirror.

Also make sure emergency brakes are not engaged, or DRLs will not work.

I have the same car as you. All you have to do is turn that switch on auto. And every time you turn your gear into drive (if you have a auto like me) your halos will turn on automatically. And when it's dark your lights will also turn on automatically. As for your fog lights I believe you have to turn those on manually correct me if I'm wrong. All you do is push the knob. Hope this helped you !

What they said. They come on when the car is in gear.

On mu 2013 2SS RS auto with engine running, not in gear (in park) & light switch in 'Auto' position DRLs (halos & side markers) are on.

I got it. Mine is a six speed and I had the emergency brake on. Once I released it, the Halo's came on. Thanks for all the help.
