just a curious question...

Why is it that our headlamp knob has positions for individual right and left parking lights?

I always thought you put one on when you are parked on the side of the road so people can see there is a car there at night. Is that what you were wondering?

[Abuimad]

if u park on a curb with ur left side sticking out..then u turn the left park light on.....etc

what i wonder is what does it do to the battery

[DRM]

Yeah I don't know how long you could have it on for. There is a vito nearby that always has its parker light on overnight so it should be okay?

bulbs are 5W front and 10w back ( If I remenber correct)
the battery last fine overnight

[Abuimad]

i try to never keep it for over a couple of hours but its good to know that it lasts, what pisses me of is ppl keep rining my doorbell telling me i forgot my lights on lol

yes, thank you. I live in Suburbia, so I never get to see this type of thing :)

oh, i thought it was some sort of hazard light for when your making a quick stop to show that you are parked on the side of the road, now i see what its for.

its a secret feature - you put a blue bulb on one side and a red one on the other and flash em to pull people over. :bandit:

It's a criminal offense to impersonate
a police officer punishable by 6-10 yrs in

I know I was kidding. there are a few cases of police officer impersonations in my area, very heavily punished for such acts especially on those who commited sexual assults. :eek:

ha, to answer what it does to your battery....i was pulled over once, and was taken to a not so nice place under the court where you dont want to go...although the cop was very nice to park my car for me, but didnt realize that if you turn the knob too far to the left, the euro parking lights come on...anyways, they were left on the whole night and into the next day, i thought my battery wasnt gonna have enough juice to start up the car, but..it turned over fine...haha, yeah...so i dont think it really runs em down at all
