Default DRL Question

Hey Guys, I have just purchased a 2006 H3 and I have noticed that my headlights are on as my DRL's. All the other H3's I have seen use the parking lights as the DRL's, however I did see one yesterday that had the headlights on as the DRL's. I read the manual and it didn't specify as to which lights should be on as DRL's, but I did read that by using the key switch and the keyless entry remote you can select different alarm warning feedbacks and other such options so I was curious if there is a way to specify which lights run as the DRL's. If not why does mine use the headlights and most all others I have seen use the parking lights? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott.

The factory switched to 'dim mode' on the headlights instead of the orange lights to the side of the headlights around the first of the year...unfortunately, there is no way to switch it without a gm/hummer computer wizard...

I like the DRL on the corner lights.
I beleve you can shut them off with the button on the dash(on left side near headlight switch) untill next start up.

Fourfourtwo is correct, just turn the headlight switch to the left and the DRLs (headlights) shut off until the next time you start it up.

My H3 was built in April 2006 and purchased in July and my headlights are the DRLs. However, it's kind of a pain in the ass to always remember to turn them off, so I have just got accustomed to the idea of them probably burning out quicker than usual.

Never had one burn out yet in any of my vehicles, and most have been headlamp DRLs. My vettes had signal DRLs and never replaced a bulb.
