You mean like have the DRL kick on specifically to the direction of the turn signal; Cadillac style?

Mine do

All you have to do is cut the hot wire to the DRL and install a relay that is normally closed in it. For your trigger wire to the relay, jump it off of you turn signal hot wire. When the turn signal flashes it will kill the power to your DRL and therefore wig-wag between the DRL and the Turn signal. It look pretty cool.

Now, that will only work when your head lights are off. If you want it to work all of the time wire your DRL's full time. Then they won't go off when your headlights come on.

There are a lot of the guy's on the Avalanche boards that have done this mod. AV's with cladding have a slightly different front end but the wiring is the same.

That might be tough.

Your going to need a specific type of relay for that one.
You will definately have to do some cutting of the wire harnesses for that. Dont think I really recommend it unless your really stuck on it.

It would be easy, once you find the relay. You would need (two) adjustable, 0-1 second, delay on make, 12V time delay relays. These would power the running lights 1/10 sec. or whatever after the turn signal, and both go off at the same time. They could only work when the DLRs weren't powered, I.E. when the headlights are on, or if you disabled the DLR's normal power source. I looked at Mouser Electronics and they do carry 12V TDRs, but they don't give specs on them. If you call and talk, they should be able to find your relays. http://www.mouser.com
