I have HIDs on my MkIV and the parkers really take the shine away from the HIDs. They prove no purpose when my headlights are on.
Has anyone ever wired theirs up, or no how to, wire it up so they come on when the parkers are on but go off when the headlights are on??

Dont think you are allowed to do that
Read the regs regarding parkers and HID here
Why you can't LEGALLY retrofit HID lights to your non HID car....

Swap the bulbs to LEDs to match.

Your parkers take away from your (illegal) HIDs? Please explain...Originally Posted by MK4Golf

You will find that turning parking lamps (also referred to as clearance lamps) when headights are on is illegal. The reason (as others have also mentioned) is that should a headlamp fail (for whatever reason), you would lose illumination of the extent of thevehicle width.
Don't go back to the way the old air-cooled VWs were referred to (one eyed kr**ts)as they were notorious for losing the electrics on one side.

As in a recent thread are you describing the lights correctly
Do you mean Parks as in the European bright light that you can leave on all night or SIDE LIGHTS as most cars here have.
Im pretty sure you are not allowed to turn sidelights off when headlights come on for the reasons given above.
You are also not allowed to fit HID headlights without all the required other bits but as in other threads it doesnt seem to stop people doing it.
