68 how do you keep the parking lights on with the headlights

Yeah, it looks bad-***, but in the bad (illegal and dangerous) way, not in the good (cool, nifty) way. Most of the info here applies. You cannot just "decide" any ol' lamp with any ol' bulb into a fog lamp, "running light", "driving light", etc. These are safety devices we're talking about, not fashion accessories or toys. They need to work the way they're supposed to work. The grownup thing is to find ways of customizing your car without creating safety hazards.
and LOL at this comment on a muscle car message board - you seriously think that all the cars on here with the performance mods they have falls in line with your philosophy? Maybe you should lecture everybody on here about the safety concerns of added horsepower and the litany of other mods that almost all of us do to these vehicles. I'm not a child - i understand the repercussions of modifying the lighting system on my car. For the record, my lights are properly aimed and I've never driven my car in the dark so i think it's a moot point. Take your "no HID" crusade elsewhere.
