I would like to do this mod on account that I can continue using my standard bi-xenon high beams, as well as driving with only my fogs on (which I can do now).

So in total, switching from the current U.S. setting to ROW, only enables this parking feature correct? Doesn't change anything else I currently have. As for my car I have the stock headlights and tail-lights, so which is it that would light up?

Brozee, sorry for the delay, went out to the car to check all, so I can be accurate.

OK here is what I have, went from USA to ROW, and yes I have fogs front and rear with parking only, and I can have high beams on with front and rears fogs also, and when parking and want euro parking lites, I just move the turn signal stalk to the side I want lit.

Brozee do your front turn signals also act as parking lites ?

I believe only my parking lights (inside the headlight) light up, not the turn signal bulbs. I'm pretty sure on that.

All vehicles must display parking lights (left & right) when parked on a road or a lay-by on a road with a speed limit greater than 30 mph (48 km/h). If a road has a 30mph or lower speed limit and is unlit, you must also use parking lights.
