I have a very minor problem with my '02 GTP. It has daytime running lights so the low beams are supposed to always be on at low power. But today the left one cut out. The headlight works fine, I can turn it with the switch. It's just that one daytime light is out so it looks a bit funny. Any ideas about what's wrong?

DRLs use the high beam circuit. Try turning your headlights on with the high beams activated. I bet it will still be out.

X2, just replace the bulb and all is fixed.

wow, I never heard of just the drl light going out, for my lights the drl and regular lights went out at the same time because we don't have a separate system for drl's like some cars have like the tahoe for example.

Well, typically when one goes out (high or low beam) on a dual-beam bulb the filament breaking takes out the other one. It's just an odd occurrence if it doesn't.
