Re: [Amc-list] Parking lights won't work

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

On a 1964 model car I believe the parking lights were
not meant to stay on with the headlights on.  The
vehicle code changed sometime in the late sixties to
require the parking lights along with the headlights. 
The idea was to give oncoming drivers a warning that a
car and not a motorcycle was approaching.
