What's up with DRL'S
Glad to be a new member. Just picked up my 2013 Camaro 2SS. It's Black on Black. It's everything I hoped it would be. But I do have a question about the Daytime Running Lights.I have the knob set to Auto but the DRL'S do not come on. The only thing that comes on are the Fog Lights. I wonder what is going on here. Any advice would help. Thank You. Also I haven't started any mods yet. It already has a good exhaust system on it. So what should I do to it next. Like the forum......

Welcome aboard. Headers and a cold air intake are normally some of the first performance mods for the SS cars. After that it’s time for a cam and supporting parts and a good dyno tune. Rear suspension mods at a minimum are a must, toe links, trailing arms, LCAs and stiffer/solid bushings will go a real long way in getting the power down without wheel hop.
Those will be a good starting place to spend several grand of your hard earned money

Like everyone already said, the fog lights are actually the DRLs and not fog lights on these cars. GM usually takes the headlights and runs them at 50% to be daytime running lights on most cars, but that is bad for the headlights that your Camaro uses, so the fog lights was their solution.

Yep. Functioning as DRL's, not fogs on your model. If you'd like them to stay on all the time and be both "fog" and DRL, this will do it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

FYI, I also replaced the DRL bulbs with these. Huge difference. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
