When you turn on your headlights, you know how there are 3 settings on the switch, OFF....middle setting....Then the setting where the main headlights are on. Well the middle setting, when the headlights turn on but are dim...aren't the parking lights supposed to come on also. And then when the headlights on normally, aren't the parking lights supposed to be on too? The parking lights come on when i turn on my turn signals....but don't come on any other times. Is that normal? Or am I just really confusing everyone? 2005 Hyundai Elantra GLS - Automatic - Electric Red! http://members.cardomain.com/need4speedxd No modifications as of yet! Future plans are a CAI, Magnaflow exhaust, and a new stereo system.

They are right next to the headlight bulb, which makes it hard to see with the headlights on. The yellow lights are turn signal only (and hazard also) bulbs. This is all refering to the front of course.

The parking lights don't seem to do any good in the dark. -Roy 2004 Tidal Wave blue Elantra GT hatchback Portland, Oregon I got a fever... and the only prescription... is more cowbell!

Next time I will try the 80 Watt whites. Of course you need to wire the fogs to work independently of the low beams. See the DIY section Elantrick's 2004 Tidal Wave Blue GT With 16" RS Limited Limix wheels, Falken GRB, FK-451 205/50/16 tires, 19.2 Sway bar, Shark Adjustable Short shifter with lifted frame, 80 watt yellow Foglamps independant of the Low beams and Euro antenna.

Now if they should be good enough for parking, I doubt it... On a side note, the 01-03 parking lights to me makes the car more visible with its definative light, where as the 04-05 parking light makes you wonder what's there.
