Default DRL Blues

Well yesterday i went to NAPA (will never go there again, the guys were morons. "Whats a daytime running lamp?" "who makes trans am\firebirds?") no luck. i get told it's a Manufactuer only part.
So off to O'rileys and advance, same thing. NOBODY has it.
So my question is, what can i use as a replacement for the shitty GM DRL's.
I have an inch of water in mine, and they went out 2 weeks after paying 125 dollers for new ones! WTF!!
i also found this on e-bay. looks really neet =)

I hate doing this, but TTT.
Not having blinkers pisses me off (and will get me a ticket sooner or later)

What do you need?? The new fixture? A new bulb? A new Socket?

The DRL is the turnsignal bulb. Any 3157 buld will work. If you need a new socket, again any parts store should have a cosket for a 3157 bulb. Now as for the actual lens/fixture, its juckyard/ebay or the dealer.

Yeah I ran into the "dealer only" scenario a little over a year ago.....they're not a site sponsor, but try gmpartsdirect.com if you ever want the GM part again. Their shipping is kind of slow, but the prices are decent.
