I am planning on getting blackouts for my headlights and tailights. Would it be OK for me to always drive with my parking lights on, so i wont get pulled over, or will this cause unnecessary where and tear on my battery?

So many plans so little pictures! Wait... you got none. Got any? :rolleyes:
 






Why would you get pulled over for not driving with your lights on???
 






here in CA, it is illegal to only drive with the parking lights on... if the vehicle is in motion the full lights need to be either on or off... parking lights are used only when parked...

He would get pulled over for the blackouts but with your lights on, the blackouts don't appear so obvious. Although cops would not normally pull you over for this. The ones you have to worry about are those ticket ladies that roam the streets.
 






There is a number of GM cars that use the parking lights as DRLs. Do they get pulled over?
 






X, blackouts arent illegal in Texas though. In matter of fact I thought they were 50 state legal.
