wiring up parking lights to be brighter

Just wondering if anyone has modified their parking/turn signal lights to be brighter when they are on. I've noticed that during the day you can hardly see them, but in newer 4th gen firebirds they are very bright. They are about as bright as when you turn your turn signal on. On the 3rd gens they are pretty dim, but when the turn signal goes on they get brighter. On the 4th gens they just go on and off. Is there a way to do this on a 3rd gen or has anyone done it?

The ones on the 4th gens are the DRL's (Daytime Running Lights) and use the filiment that is used for the turn signals, when you turn the headlights or parking lights on, they go to the dim filiment of the bulb.
