Default No DRL's ?

i replaced the sockets and bulbs because it was needed badly. Now the blinkers are back to working, but the DRL's don't work. ONE of them works if i turn the lights on

Try checking again:

There are two filaments in each bulb:
- Marker Lights (These illuminate when you turn your headlights or parking lights on.)
- Turn Signal and DRL (<When you release your parking brake with the headlights and parking lights off it will illuminate> OR <When you turn your blinker on with the headlights on it will illuminate (this makes it double bright)> OR <When you release your parking brake with the headlights and the parking lights off (DRLs on) and use the turn signal, it will turn off to the rhythm of the blinker>)

Are you sure that you just don't have a marker light out and have the DRLs working? If the turn signals work, the DRLs should.

OH!!! one more thing though, about the bulb itself. Looking at the owners manual right now it says "Front parking and Turn Signal - 4157NAK" then below it "Tail/stop/Turn Lamps - 3057"
what freakin bulb is the right one that it left the show room with i thought autozone's bulb book was just messed up but no there's two bulbs apparently?

Since the cars were made, lamps have changed a bit. You probably misread AutoZone's chart, which confuses the issue a bit more.

In the auto parts stores, you will probably only find the 3457NA for the fronts. The rears are still 3057. (The 3457NA is a direct replacement for the 4157NA.)
