Default Camaro DRL

Not sure if this is in the right place, so I appoligize. My passanger side DRL on my 2000 Camaro is dimmer than the dirvers side. Has anyone else experinced this? I wasn't able to get the lens out of the car, but I did use water and a paper towel to clean the inside of it, didn't fix it. I also replaced the bulb, but still seems dim. Please help me with this....it bugs the hell out of me

Sorry for the double post. Based on what the poster in my other thread said I decided to post this question in another area, but was moved here with the original thread.

I want to keep the DRL's. I just want to have them display the same. Anyone?

The parking lights are the only thing that lights up.

Your socket might be getting shitty. I'd pull it and see if it's corroded or melted (which is probably is). If so, I'd replace it and get a new bulb. I'd also make sure to pack it with some dielectric grease (the splices and bulb).
