mwr Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I'm posting this as I'm searching the forum (and will look in the manual). The parking lights are on and won't go off. Key is out of the ignition switch and the parking lights are on regardless of the position of the headlight switch on the stalk. FOUND the rocker switch. Thanks.

mwr Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 It would be good if that parking light rocker switch ON would turn on an indicator light on the panel that would stay on with the ignition off and key removed. But, wishful thinking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldiablo Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I wonder, does anyone actually use the parking light switch for it's intended purpose? Or is it always flipped accidentally and followed up with an embarrassing post on LGT.com? I for one, have never used it... intentionally. My VB Garage...

Scotty Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Some countries require you to have the light on when you are parked especially on a narrow street. That's why a lot of non-USDM cars also have electric folding mirrors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilT Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Some countries require you to have the light on when you are parked especially on a narrow street. That's why a lot of non-USDM cars also have electric folding mirrors. Some Euro spec cars go one step further, and you can just put on the parking light on the side that is in the road.

Scooter Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 man someone should find all of these threads Or perhaps one of them should be stickied for all the noobs...? Or is this just considered a Rite of Passage that every new owner should go through once? I know I did: I had my New Thread all typed out and just before I hit Submit I thought, hmmm, maybe I should Search first. Seek first to understand, then to be understood. In other words: SEARCH before you post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carguyco Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Lol....this just happened to me today, after I washed my interior I must have pushed the switch. I wish it would light something up on the instrument panel that tells you that the switch is activated. I'm glad this forum is here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
