Yes, even with my lights in the "off" position there are still "running
lights". I don't know if there is anyway to turn them off completely

The daylight running lights on my truck will turn off when the emergency
brake is set. If I want to turn them off I just push the emergency brake
pedal just far enough to turn off the lights but not enough to engage
the brakes.

So people who use the emergency/hand/parking brake at junctions will
make their lights go on and off, that's really stupid.


It does have its drawbacks. My Toyota with DRL's did that and it was a
manual transmission. When I come home at night I stop at the cluster
mailbox to get the mail. If it's dusk or full dark, I sort through my
keys in front of the headlight. With that feature, I'd shift into
neutral, put the handbrake on, and my light source would go off.
