This made the Daytime Running Light's into parking lights. When I get the new sockets and wire everything up, the DRL's will be blinkers AND running lights, just like the lamp next to them.

-During the day, the DRLs will constantly be on, but when you go to signal, they will blink on and off with the regular blinkers?
-At night, you know how that one signal light stays on, then blinks when you signal? Well...will the DRL do that now? Is that what those 2 pictures you posted signify?

The DRL lamp is no longer a DRL--it's a parking lamp. It's on only when the parking lights are on, but it doesn't blink with the blinkers. When I get my new sockets tomorrow, I'm going to tap into the blinker lights from the middle bulb and make the DRL lamp blink AND be a parking lamp.
Does that make sense?

Yes. So now the DRLs don't come on during the day anymore, only at night when the parking lights are on. I think I may try that

Only problem is that the bulbs in the DRL position are WAY brighter than the ones in the parking lights. The bulb gets pretty hot. I'm going to see if I can order another turn signal socket from the dealership tomorrow, and wire them up as blinkers.
They look much better in person than they do in the pics, but here's a couple of shots:
