headlight question???????????

dropjawjimmy · 12-03-2008, 07:36 PM

I have a 01 jimmy sls, everytime I hit the turn signal on when my daytime running lights are on the headlights go out. Is there a short or does this just happen??????????

thats supposed to be like that, the day time running lights go off when you put your blinker on. there all like that

Its a safety feature that the GMC's have.I guess because the light and signal are so close together,they designed them to go out so you wouldnt confuse the light with the signal.

I wanted to get the envoy headlights and just run aftermarket ballasts and bulbs (play and play stuff) but I wasn't sure on how that would effect the life of the bulbs?
