    It has to do with the way they park in countries over seas. Often they leave the parking lights on if they are parked on the side of the road.

    dont feel bad i was cleaning the inside of my car when it was new and switched it on and didnt know it was on. i came out that night and my parking lights were on. worse part is i didnt know what was wrong and had to take it to the dealer only to feel supper stupid when they got in and fliped it and they went off. :(

    Its more like a "please dont hit me" night light for your car when its parked in the street.
