What are parking lights, and do you still need them? Learn their purpose, where they\u2019re located, and how they compare to modern car lighting systems.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Parking lights are lights installed in the front and rear of vehicles that are meant to be switched on when parked in dark areas or driving in dim lighting or poor visibility conditions. Also called sidelights, these lights are meant to make a parked vehicle visible to other road users and prevent possible collisions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are Parking Lights?<\/b><\/h2>\n

These lights were initially an essential part of a vehicle\u2019s lighting system back in the 1960s when streets were not brightly lit at night, and regulations requiring its use were enforced until the end of the decade. By the 1970s, street lighting had improved, and the use of parking lights were no longer as necessary. Eventually, the existing regulations on parking lights loosened and, at present, only a few states still require turning it on under certain conditions, such as during low-visibility situations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with the other automotive lights, parking lights can be turned on and off using the light switch lever behind the steering wheel or button or dial on the steering wheel or dashboard of the vehicle. Just look for back-to-back <\/span>semicircles<\/span> with three short lines that symbolize light beams (see image below).<\/span><\/p>\n

<insert image><\/span><\/p>\n

When the parking light is selected, the following lights are turned on:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Front: parking lights and side markers<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Rear: tail lights and license plate lights<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Car interior: Dashboard\/instrument lights<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    However, not all modern vehicles have a separate parking light switch nowadays \u2013 some have already been integrated with the headlight switch, so you won\u2019t always find the symbol for it on the light switch or buttons in your vehicle. In this case, you can think of it as the exterior lights that usually activate along with the instrument lights.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    What Are Parking Lights Used For?<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Parking lights are meant to protect a vehicle when parked in narrow streets with poor lighting because it emits a dim glow that indicates its position to oncoming vehicles. That is, in case you park your car in a street with poor lighting and it gets dark, leaving your parking light on will warn any oncoming vehicle of your car\u2019s presence to avoid a potential collision.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Parking lights are meant to complement the headlights, but they are not as bright and should never be used by itself when driving on the <\/span>roads,<\/span> as this is against the law.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    When Should You Use Parking Lights?<\/b><\/h2>\n

    You should turn on your parking lights when parked in narrow and dark streets, roads with poor street lighting, and when the road is foggy.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re wondering why not use the headlights, it\u2019s because high beams impair the vision of drivers coming from the opposite direction and low beams can drain your battery if left on for prolonged periods. However, parking lights use lights that are designed to consume less energy, so even if you leave them on overnight, you won\u2019t return to find your car\u2019s battery dead.<\/span><\/p>\n

    But if you plan to park longer, it\u2019s best to find an alternative parking space in a secure, well-lit location instead \u2013 even low-consumption lights can still drain a fully charged car battery when left on for days.<\/span><\/p>\n

    A word of advice: never ever use parking lights as an alternative to headlights because that is against the law.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Are Parking Lights Still Useful Today?<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Many car models have already integrated parking lights with <\/span>headlights,<\/span> and the automatic Daytime Running Lights have more use nowadays. However, it can still be useful when parking in dark areas or your parked vehicle isn\u2019t illuminated by the nearest <\/span>streetlight<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    You can also opt to use parking lights when driving during times when the sky is no longer bright out but it\u2019s also not dark enough to use the headlights. This can be at dawn, dusk, or when the weather is bad, such as during rain or fog.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Parking Light Laws: What You Need to Know<\/b><\/h3>\n

    While enforcement on the use of parking lights is no longer strict, be aware that the following states still have existing parking laws about its usage that must be followed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    State<\/b><\/td>\nRules\/Law<\/b><\/td>\nDetails<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    California<\/span><\/td>\nRequires parking lights when parked on a highway or shoulder at night with <\/span>less than 200 feet of visibility<\/b>.<\/span><\/td>\nParking lights must be used to ensure visibility to oncoming traffic in low-light conditions.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Florida<\/span><\/td>\nRequires parking lights when parked on the highway or shoulder at night or in low-light conditions.<\/span><\/td>\nParking lights are required for visibility when parked on the side of the road in poor lighting.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Michigan<\/span><\/td>\nRequires parking lights or hazard lights when parked on the highway at night.<\/span><\/td>\nThis ensures visibility to other drivers when parked in low-visibility areas.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Nevada<\/span><\/td>\nRequires parking lights when parked on the highway at night or in low-visibility conditions.<\/span><\/td>\nTo make the vehicle visible to other drivers in dark or poorly lit conditions.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    North Carolina<\/span><\/td>\nRequires parking lights when parked on the shoulder of the highway at night.<\/span><\/td>\nThis is for safety to make vehicles visible to oncoming traffic at night.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Georgia<\/span><\/td>\nRequires parking lights when parked on the side of the road at night.<\/span><\/td>\nParking lights should be used if visibility is poor.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Minnesota<\/span><\/td>\nRequires parking lights when parked on the roadway at night or in low-visibility areas.<\/span><\/td>\nParking lights are mandatory to reduce the risk of collisions in dark conditions.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    New York<\/span><\/td>\nRequires parking lights when parked on the side of the road in low-visibility areas.<\/span><\/td>\nThis is for situations like narrow streets or poor lighting where visibility is limited.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Alaska<\/span><\/td>\nRequires parking lights when parked on the roadway at night or in poor visibility conditions.<\/span><\/td>\nEnsures the parked vehicle is visible to other drivers, especially in rural or dark areas.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Texas<\/span><\/td>\nRequires parking lights when parked on the roadway or shoulder at night or in low-visibility conditions.<\/span><\/td>\nTo make the vehicle visible to other drivers in dark or poorly lit areas.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


    \nFinal Thoughts: Do Parking Lights Still Matter?<\/b><\/h3>\n

    While the usage of parking lights is no longer strictly enforced in the U.S. beginning the 1970s, they are still useful depending on the location and situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Some states still require drivers to turn on their parking lights if the vehicle is parked at night on a lay-by or the side of a road with a speed limit that is 30 mph and higher. However, you must turn them on regardless of <\/span>the speed<\/span> limit when the roads are foggy to enhance your vehicle\u2019s visibility. Remember: use parking or low beam lights <\/span>only<\/span><\/i> because brighter lights, such as high beams, would only reflect light and worsen driving conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Likewise, if you happen to be driving while on a trip overseas, you should know that some European countries and Australia still enforce the use of parking lights. Make sure you learn how to operate it in your vehicle and know the local laws so you don\u2019t get a ticket for not using your parking lights.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
