There is no legal requirement to use parking lights in the
US, at least not here in Washington. Usually, all it will
get you is a bunch of people saying, "Hey - did you know
you left your 'posers' on?"
One thing I really liked about my 1968 BMW 1800/02-tii
was that you could, like on most un-USA-ized German cars,
turn on the parking lights on only one side of the car
(the side out in traffic) with the turn signal stalk.
Such a feature would only confuse most Americans.
"Hey! My turn signals don't blink when the engine's off!"
