Your daytime running lamps are the inside light on the bottom. They come on when the truck is in gear during the day. If you wanna test em, then you can put on the parking break, put your truck in second gear, and look at them. If it's in daylight (your headlamps are off) then they should be on

I have seen some guys run the amber lights in there for a different look. It's the same bulb number just with the NA behind it. 4114 or 3157? I think those both work. I'm sure someone will correct me if my numbers are off.
