Heh. Someone actually went to my dad's shop asking how to turn off the parking lights.
Anyone know why these are on most if not all Subarus and what their function is? Just use em when parking?

Most places around the world require, by law, that parking lights be on when you are not moving and parked on the side of the road. Not all places have good highway lighting like many places in the US. It's a safety thing. For Scoobys, w/o this switch, you would need to leave the key in the ignition in ACC in order to put the parking lights on. It seems subaru has gone through great lengths in order to prevent you from running down your battery by accident. Heck, even the glove box light won't come on unless you have the key in and the lights are turned on.

LOL ha ha....same friggen thing happened to me when I first got my WRX. I was in a safeway parking lot when I noticed the lights on. I was like, "WTF". Then after about 5 minutes of sitting the drivers seat cursing the dealership for giving me a faulty car I spotted the infamous switch.
