So you agree that they're Daytime Running Lights now?

No, there isn't a way to do that.

i agree that the parking lights are DRLs, but the other post I had i was referring to the headlights and not the DRLs.

They're one and the same. Since your DRL's are enabled, your parking lights are always on and your headlights automatically turn on when it's "dark" out. Once you disable DRL, your parking lights and headlights will only come on when you turn them on.

DRL and side markers are two different things.

The DRL housing is already pretty shitty, more heat from the bulb is the last thing you need. I would recommend leaving it as-is.

Agree. I talked to j and he said it only stays bright while head lights are off. No way to keep em bright full time.
