Does anyone know why my head lights come on all the time instead of the running lamps during the daylight hours? I have a 2000 GMC Sierra Pickup. I assume it is the same as the 2000 Chevy Silverado. Any suggestions are appreciated...

Here's the easiest answer. Your daytime running lights are controlled by a little thing sticking up in the center of the dash. If you have it covered, your truck will think its dark outside.
The headlights in my GM vehicles come on at reduced intensity (80%?) during the day.

It's a funny thing...My headlights seem to go on at the weirdest times - like on a sunny day, or sometimes on an overcast day. Thought it was the sensor....Not on my list of current priorities to investigate.

AFAIK, my truck has DRLs which are different than the headlights.
I was thinking of switching to ambers, as they look good in the '02-'04 trucks but my '06 AV has the DRL housing right next to my turn signals.
To the OP, I'd suggest checking your sensor to make sure it is clear and free.
