Default Driving Lights on 2GS (full on???)

I have 2k GS3 and the driving lights (the ones always on) are very dim. Is there a way to make them turn on fully as they use normal headlights in that location but it's dim.

Thats just the DRL and DRL uses small wedge bulbs. There is a link on the main lighting page for different wedge bulb options that you can use. IMO there is no point putting a high wattage bulb in that spot since it will only cause glare. If you really want to have a different look than go for something thats a bit more white rather than the current yellow wedge bulbs. Options on the bulbs are listed in the thread I mentioned.

No that wedge bulb is not the DRL. The DRL is the highbeam running at 50% power. That wedge bulb comes on when you turn on the parking lights or the lowbeams.

Yes, that's exactly it... Is there a way to get these full on or at least somewhat brighter?

Funny... That's not the point... These are DRL's and are on when the Headlights are Off. I believe the Wedge Bulbs comes on when the headlights are one. For high beam operation, they should be one with the Headlights...
