headlight question-97 gmc

Should there be a brightness difference from the running light compared to the lights on low beam? I have no difference and they are very very dim. I do have cloudy lenses and possibly they are out of adjustment but when I put them on high beam they seem to be as bright as the headlights on my wifes 2010 impala and I can actually see where I`m going.

Yes, the DRLs operate at a slightly lower power than the normal lowbeam headlights. Your headlights are probably faded and affecting your light output.

A little wet sand with 200 grit and compound will do wonders if you think being cloudy is the cause. I have the W/T with seal beams and DRT and low beams look the same to me. I pulled the fuse for DRL as you can't flash your light with them on.
