  1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_li...anding_lamps.29

     

    Nighttime standing-vehicle conspicuity to the front is provided by "front position lamps",[15] known as "parking lamps" or "parking lights" in North America,[5] and "front sidelights" in British English.[19] Despite the UK term, these are not the same as the sidemarker lights described below. The front position lamps may emit white or amber light in North America;[5] elsewhere in the world they must emit only white light.[15] Colloquial city light terminology for front position lamps[20] derives from the practice, formerly adhered to in cities like Moscow, London and Paris, of driving at night in built-up areas using these low-intensity lights rather than headlamps.[21] It is now illegal in many countries to drive a vehicle with parking lamps illuminated, unless the headlamps are also illuminated. The UK briefly required Dim-Dip lights, described below, in an attempt to optimise the level of light used at night in built-up areas.

     

    Some should add to that wiki what BHR calls them and refer to this thread.

     

    PS. Got the cheap ebay kit, waiting for the harness from HK.

  2. MARKER LIGHTS!!!!

     

    There is no such thing as parking lights, to use retarded honda google terms make you look like both a fool and a democrat.

     

    You don't turn on lights after you've parked, or to park or anything, there called MARKER lights

     

    I turn on the parking lights whenever I decide to park, to let people know I am gonna park.

  3. That is 1 reason but the primary reason is ballasts are very sensitive, if hooked into factory wiring the ballasts are down the roadin terms of power, you hit brakes, have a system, whatever it all drains power.

     

    Connecting them directly to the battery means it gets first dibs

     

    I read some cars develop statics on the radio after installing HIDs. Thats the ballast's 450Hz tones mixing into headunit. A direct connection to battery should solve this issue.
