Parking lights help to make a vehicle more conspicuous at night time. They are switched on by pressing a separate button and work even when other lighting elements are turned off. A vehicle can be equipped with one or several lights of this type.

6 tips on how to use and replace them

1. Install a new device as the old one fails. The service life is not specified.
2. Remember that this car part is an auxiliary lighting element. It can’t be used instead of other lights.
3. Turn these lights on every time you park your car by the side of a busy road in the evening. This will reduce the risk of a car accident. You can leave the device on for as long as the vehicle is parked.
4. Note that parking lights are powered by the vehicle mains. Despite the fact that they are characterised by low energy consumption, your battery can go flat if they stay on for a long time.
5. Install in the device only the lamps recommended by the manufacturer. They must meet all technical requirements.
6. Clean the glass surface of the part regularly. Snow and dust reduce the efficiency of light scattering.

Malfunctions of parking lights, their causes and symptoms

• Scratched glass elements. They appear when abrasive compounds or sharp objects are used to eliminate contamination. The defects can be seen with the naked eye. Besides, the light becomes dim.
• Cracks on the housing. They can result from an impact during a road accident. This can be easily noticed at inspection.
• Melted lamp holder. It is caused by a short circuit in the vehicle mains. Sometimes, it can be a consequence of overheating due to continuous operation. With that failure, the device doesn’t work.
