Daytime running lights? Im confused xD This could PROBABLY go under the Newbie section since its such a n00b question..
Anyways! - Do the 99 Trans Ams have DRLs?
Are they the amber turn signal lights? - I have noticed that they'll be brighter unless my headlights come on.
Cuz I never have my fogs or headlights on without the switch actually turning them on :p

The amber turn signals are the DRL.
That is why they are always on.
Bright filament during the day (headlights off).
Dim filament during the night (headlights on).
The Bright filament flashes for the Turn signal.

You are confusing DRL with auto-headlights.
The Canadian Firebird did have auto-headlights as well.
The US Firebird doesn't have auto-headlights (but you can probably add it).

wssix99 is correct - there is no simple way to make them work so that the DRLs and turn signals are different colors. Switchbacks are set up with white LEDs on the parking light (dim) circuit and amber LEDs on the signal (bright) circuit. Our cars use the bright circuit for BOTH turn signals and DRLs so there is no (simple) way to make DRLs white and turn signals amber. You'll end up with white lights as parking lights only when the headlights are on and amber for everything else.
Oh BTW, it is illegal in almost every state to display more than four white lights at the front at the same time. That's why the fog lights turn off when you switch to high beams. Adding switchbacks running white with the headlights and fog lights might attract unwanted attention from LEOs.

Yeah, I've always thought they have looked cool, hmm. Maybe Just matching my HIDs & Fogs with the proper K lighting will make me just live with the amber lights!
