Front running light question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 67's front running lights go out when you turn on the headlamps. The T/S still works but what I am wondering is if this i normal. I cant find any info. on this. Maybe I wired it wrong and I am asking anyone with a stock 67 to please go out and take a look.
Thanks

Around here we called them parking lights and yes they went out when you pulled the headlights on.

That's not to say they couldn't be made to stay on with the headlamps I'm sure.

I don't remember which terminal to use but simply moving a wire on the H/L switch will keep them on.

It's 100% normal for a 67 and 68 truck.

no, not 68, only 67 and older.
Thats why they were called parking lights, and from 68 to date, they are refered to as running lights.
