The lights are controlled by a module, it is the DRL module, replace it. also try this
On the inside of the car next to the light switch there is your dome light button. GM made it to where you could turn off the daytime running lights by pushing it three times in and out. Turn the vehicle on then do this. Your daytime running lights should work after this.

1998 Lumina lights don't work at night!The lights work during the day but not at night. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Theres a sensor in the middle of the dash by the front windshield that detects sunlight and triggers the automatic headlights. The main headlights and daytime running lights might be on a different circuit, in which case they daytime running lamps would turn off at night and the main headlights would turn on, indicating the main headlights arent working and the daytime running lamps are working as intended.

I would check all the fuses related to headlights, check the bulbs and check the switch, then last the light sensor on the dash.

Where is the Daytime driving Lamp relay located

follow the wires to the drl relay. It must be inline from the regular light switch to the headlamps. I have a 1990 Cadillac Deville that has an aftermarket module that controls the daytime running lamps, and it is mounted on the driver's side wheel well.

Some relays are found in the fuse box under the hood.

If your daytime running lamps burnt out, take it to an electrical shop and ask them to check it out.

If you buy an aftermarket daytime running lamp kit, they can install it for you.

But, I agree, you should check for voltage and function at the relay for the daytime running lamps on your Astro.

But, if all else fails, the electrical shop should be able to diagnose and repair this problem.

FUSE OR LIGHT ISSUES

If you purchased your vehicle in the States, it is not equipped with Daytime Running Lamps, you will have to purchase an aftermarket module and have them installed to the parking lamp circuit in order to save the wear on your Xenon bulbs.  Only Canadian models have running lamps standard.  As far as your clock I know that the bulbs in Infiniti clocks are notorious for going bad. You can remove the clock and replace bulbs, but I would check your fuses, there is a fuse panel down in the drivers floor kick panel. I would suggest doing a google search for G35 manual and you can probably find some site that has a PDF version you can download for free.

2000 Silverado daytime running lights don't work. bulbs new.

Not saying that you don't know this but the daytime lights are turned off in park.
If that is not your problem, a friend of mine uses the amber bulbs, they last longer.
