All the new Golf's have Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) which are your parkers. A study in Europe found that they increase others visibility of you and help reduce accidents. Of course the latest more expensive cars use LED DRLs now.

Look in the Official VVW VCDS thread for the setting to disable them if you wish, although I personally don't recommend it. You'll need to borrow or buy a VCDS cable though.
