Default SHOWING OFF?
Is it showing off - pretentious - to run parking lights during daylight hours?

it's good common sense - for visibility.

what would be showing off is running those awful yellow and blue fog lights that ricers put on.....

people notice lights more in there rearview mirrors, so it could avoid someone from cutting you off

Sometimes looks spiffy, too. Let's say we call them running lights.

Showing off? Why? I like running with my parking lights on anytime it's not 100% sunny. I have no idea why

In Canada, most newer cars have daytime running lights.

I suppose it would have helped if I had hit 'add reply' and/or read your post before going on to something else!!!

I think it's gay. Parking lights are meant for parking. I say either full on lights or off. Besides, the HID's look too cool.

tell me again the use of lights while parked??? LOL just kidding

the term is running lights and they should be used while driving when the headlights are too much or not desired by the driver
