Bright *** parking lights??? how?!

Ok you know how on the new camaros, and especially the new corvettes, they drive around during the mid daylight and have their parking lights on , you know those bright *** orange ones, they look incredibly and you can see them even during the day... if i put on my parking lights, those things are weak as hell and only realllly bright when its blinking, how is it possible to make them bright like that??? and possibly the back tailights that birght too??? thanks

Search for "DRL" on the electronics board. You'll find some useful info.

You can always upgrade the bulbs that you use. I think they make bighter bulbs in the same size that you can upgrade to. Also there is an LED style replacement. They can be found and some auto parts stores. Try doing a search for something like LED taillights. The front parking lights use the same bulb as the taillights. The bulb number escapes me at the moment. The LEDs yield a much higher light source. Not sure how well it reflects though since they are LEDs. Just some thoughts.

I think it can be done with the flasher. Cause my hazards flasher was shot and when I would turn on my hazards, they would just stay on bright and not blink. I don't know if this will work, but what if you pulled the hazards flasher and your rear turn signal bulbs. Then put the hazards on? I don't think they will blink to bright though without the flasher. Hmm.., I don't know how mine did it.
