Headlight Switch Problems of Chevrolet S10

My vehicle, a 2003 chevy S10 truck, like many vehicles, has daytime running lights that automatically go on when the truck is running; the regular headlights and taillights come on automatically when outdoor light fades. As a result I never touch the headlight switch. Recently my friend was following me in her car on a highway trip when we encountered surprisingly dense daylight fog; sensible speed on the highway dropped to 25 or 30 mph. Happily every car I saw had its lights on (not to see but to be seen). At one point my friend flashed her lights at me repeatedly and I pulled over to find out what was wrong. "your taillights aren't on," she said. "I know you're there, but if I'm as far back as feels safe, I really can't see you!" it had never occurred to me that there was ever a time when safety required me to actually turn on the headlights. It seems entirely possible to me that the non-automatic lighting of taillights on vehicles with this lighting arrangement might contribute to pileups in daytime fog or blowing snow. I'm going to rig my lights so the taillights come on in daytime running too. This situation might not rise to the level of a recall, but I wonder whether standards for future vehicles should require that daytime running lights include taillights.

I have replaced my headlight switch 3 times now, the 2nd time I would drive and headlights would flash high and low like a police car, now my day time headlamps do not work? incident dates are not correct not sure.

Headlight switch does not work properly. Sometimes when you turn the headlight switch on only the parking lights and the daytime safety running lights come on. There have been times when I have had to drive several miles before the headlights would come on by themselves. This seems like a dangerous situation to me and I'm concerned from a safety point of yiew. It only occurs sometimes. I haven't been able to repeat it so that I could show it to the service dept. At the dealer. I never know when it's going to work or not.

Pushing the dome light over ride button, twice, turns off the headlights. This can make you panic untill you switch head lights on manually. On a dark road this can be very dangerous.
