noob question
how do you drive without the parking lights on ? Just got my 06 gs300 about 2 weeks ago & for the life of me cant figure out how to drive with all the lights off. No matter what i do the parking lights are always on whether i have the lights in auto/off....even in auto during the day the lights are on am i doing something wrong ?

I guess you're talking about the DRLs... you cannot turn them off without convincing a dealership to do so and depending on where the car is registered it may be law that DRLs are installed and operating.

I think all cars built domestically are required to have them effective 1996. What you do after the sale is between you and chance.
I will say that if you disconnect the lights and you are at fault in an accident, insurance company can deny your claim (if the absence of the lights contributed to the accident)..

^^^ what? You don t "disconnect" them you go into the customization settings with the computer and toggle the option to have them on or off there are many cars out there that don t have drl.

In Canada, DRLs are required on every car. It doesn't matter where it was made, only when. You can potentially be pulled over and given a fix it ticket if there aren't any working front lights on during the day and a car certainly shouldn't pass safety inspection whenever a vehicle changes hands without them.
I'm just saying figure out the law where your car is registered before you disable any lights.
