After seeing and responding to the previous I have to agree with the idea.
I think the four ways are a good enough indicator that the stopped vehicle
isn't partaking in traffic and should be avoided. No need for parking
lights in situations where you're not with the vehicle...
What really pees in my cornflakes is the fact that on my 2001 Golf you have
no choice but to drive with your lights on. There is no way to switch to
just amber, so when you're driving in fog all you can see is the glow of
your lights in the fog. I suppose I understand this in a European sold
vehicle where the low beams are available as amber fogs, but to use the
same wiring set-up in North American sold cars is dangerous.
Ummm...  Running low on vanagon content...  Here we go...
In my van I have aftermarket driving lights and fogs installed each with
their own rocker switch so I can control my light output depending the
situation, and the stock headlight switch DOES switch the headlights off
when you choose to.
It's sad that you can't buy a Volkswagen designed for people that just want
a vehicle anymore...
But I'm ranting... Ciao
