Our cars have parking lights as well. It's the first click on the headlight switch that turns them on. The only difference with ours and Euro cars such as Audi and MB is that the Euro cars have the option of turning only one side on...unfortunately we don't have that option, only both can be on at the same time.

 

But in the euro version, having them on will not effect the battery, I'm not sure about leaving the parking lights on in the cars here, because they were not made/built for that.

 

i see these ricers that park head-out just to show off these lights. they call them city-lights and its annoying as hell
