When did you last see a car with sidelights on when parked at night?

Anytime I park where they are required. 8-)

Why are you calling parking lights, sidelights?
There are no such things as side lights fitted to most cars, some HGV have
what could be called sidelights but its no relevant as HGVs can't park
without parking lights even if there are street lights.
