I drive a 07 Silverado. When I start it up the head lights come on. If I have them on high beam all 4 come on. If low beam just 2 come on. I have a round knob on the left middle dash to control lights. I if I turn it to the empty circle then the head lights go off and the signal lights stay on. I think that is what you are asking but not for sure.

Retrofitting HIDs into halogen headlight assemblies is ******* and my look bright to you, but they actually cast less light on the road because the reflector isn't designed to focus an HID tube. Their designed to focus a filament.

SOURCE: Auto lighting of daytime running (low beam) lamps

Yes. These are called DRL's or daytime running lights. It is law that vehicles manufactured after 1985 must have low amperage lighting on while running.

SOURCE: 2000 Cavalier driving lights no-op

ok you said you have replace the bulbs, i believe you. your problem is still the bulbs, use type HS 905, both bulbs must be the same make and model, or else one will have the same problem your having. one of the two headlamp bulbs has blown, thats why the daytime running lamp is flashing.

SOURCE: i have a 2003 chevy cavalier. headlight issue

The blinking light is telling you that you have a headlight out, if you look the service light should be coming on when the light stops blinking.
Replace the head light and all should be fine.

SOURCE: bright lights won't work

I too had the same exact problem on my 1999 Cavalier. I replaced the lamps,then the DLR,and then looked at the harness under the battery box.(It appeared to look ok and didn't have any corrosion on it I could see). I then ordered a new turn signal/high beam switch that's on the steering column. I replaced the switch and still had the same problem. Not wanting to let this defeat me I started tracing the wires from the high beam lamps back. When I got back to the wiring harness under the battery box I noticed that just one of the wires had a little corossion on it. Guess what? it turned out that was the high beam wire and it was coroded through and not making the circuit complete. I cut the wire at the coroded spot, restripped both ends and twisted them together. At that point I tried all the lights and they worked perfectly. I then soldered and shrink wraped the repaired wire. (Finally end of problem) My suggestion,Really look closely at that wiring harness. If you have to use a magnifiying glass do so. This was a really frustrating problem that I finally solved and I hope this can help others with the same problem.

Chrysler maker
this car uses the BCM body brain to run front lamps
and does so using 4 outputs. 2 low and 2 high each side.

some of these cars have HID lamp options.
and are totally unique, for head lamps! IF TRUE.

standard bulbs are H3 TYPE. AND ARE NOT HID.
PAGE 406 IN THE USER GUIDE
HID BULBS ARE HIGH VOLTAGE LAMPS.
DO NOT PLAY WITH THOSE, OR GET SHOCKED
AND REQUIRE SPECIAL PARTS TO REPAIR IT.
Same page
On vehicles equipped with High Intensity Dis-
charge Headlights (HID), when the headlights are turned
on there is a blue hue to the lights. This diminishes and
becomes more white after approximately 10 seconds, as
the system charges.


the lost free manual is here by maker

and more
Do not touch the glass of High Intensity Discharge (HID) or halogen bulbs with fingers or other possibly oily surface. Reduced lamp life will result.

HID install 1 step says
Place the igniter on the HID lamp. Do not at this time connect the igniter electrical connector. It will make it unable to twist the igniter to the closed position.

the igniter can be bad.
