Mercedes actually have posistions on the light switch to only turn on the parking lights, left side, right side or all around. There are some municipalities that require parking lights when parked on public streets at night. Mercedes in a battery saving mode allows the parking lights to be displayed on the street side only if one wishes.

It is illegal in Arkansas. They changed that once for a few years, but then made it illegal again. Don't think it gets enforced much.

I was going to say something like Jake did. I have HID Lows and Fogs. When I installed the HID Lows, I could switch to parking lights without the lights popping up. After installing the HID Fogs though, the lights pop up now when i switch to parking lights, but if I click it back to off and then parking lights again, the lights will go down and not pop up. Would resistors cure this?
