Default day time run'n lamps

I've heard of day time run'n lamps but I got day time run'n park lamps, normal?
At night lights come on automatically, if I turn the switch on inside there is no
Difference so I jus don't use the switch, normal?

I have a 98 Z28 and the park light is your DRL (actually I think it may be the brighter side of the bulb). It is also normal for the headlights to come on automatically. Mine does this also. It's kinda nice.

I seen some guys cars that they can still turn the lights off with the switch even if its dark. I cant do that. Is that normal?

Some people (like myself) hate auto headlights and DRLs, so we disable them. This mod can be done with any '98-'02 F-body.

I disabled my DRL. Nice to have control of those little lights, instead of them being on as soon as you turn your key

That's the method I've used on all 4 of these cars I've owned. It works perfect with no side effects.

LOL, wow, that is really odd. I don't see a white SS anywhere on that page. Just interior shots of where to remove the module and wiring diagrams of the connectors and where to solder.

I'm not sure why you are seeing something different.
