Question Question about a 93 Z28

hey guys my friend has a 1993 z28 and he was wanting to know if they came with drl's like the 98-02 camaro's do? when you turn on the parking lights, the front ones don't come on at all. the rear parking lights come on though. they still work when he turns on his turn singals but other than that they dont wotk at all? we checked the bulbs and the fuses and everything is fine. anybody know what's wrong?

on my Z28 which is a 93.... the turn signal lamps turn on and rear taillights with parking switch. it doesnt have any daytime running lights at all. I believe it has two bulbs on the turn signal lamp check them and make sure they are the right bulbs......

93 Camaro's didn't come with DRLs at all. On my 93 somebody went thru the wires and set it up to where the front parking lights are always on. This car could be victim to somebody that either tried hooking this up and failed or somebody that hooked it up then somebody got a hold of it and right the wires out. Oh yea and check fuses.

Probaly the light sockets. I had to replace 1 in the front and 3 in the taillights. Was doing the same thing, turn signals worked, parking lights didn't.

Check the wire harness for broken or loose grounds. No day time running lights untill 96 or 97 can't remember.

If the car has drl`s there will be a light on the dash that comes on in the daytime that looks like a bright light sign.no light no drl`s.I don`t like them anyway.
