Parking lights
Hello, newb here so don't beat me to death if this is a "old" topic. I ran an advanced search and could'nt find what I'm looking for. Here it is, Is there away to disable the headlight function (opening) when running just your parking lights? TIA.

Yes, you do have a gremlin somewhere. At the first detent the parking lights should come on but the headlights should not open. Do your headlights have HID lights in, by any chance? Are the bulbs and lights stock? What about the lights in the parking lights and tail lights?

If the headlights pop up when just parking lights are selected (first position on the switch), this is indicative of one or both of the headlight gears failing. It is not supposed to work like this.
I'll bet you hear grinding when the headlamps are shut off too.
