    Parking lights have sure created some split camps!  They have their 
    uses, though.
    
    The Good:  Using them while parked, using them while approaching a 
    check point (at a military base, during a  rally) or using them 
    while stopped/parked in a line of cars.  And using them to flash at 
    oncoming miatas!  And anytime you need them during the day.  I HATE 
    when people drive around with their headlights on during the day.  They 
    invariably have their high-beams on and it hurts the eyes when I'm low 
    to the ground.  Also, I never know if they're in a funeral.
    
    The bad:  not a real substitute at dawn, dusk and in the rain, but 
    better than nothing.
    
    The Ugly: forgetting to turn on the real headlights when it does get 
    dark.  This doesn't happen very often in a place with no streetlights!
