Do you have a switch on top of the steering wheel? switches the side lights on for parking etc... i have one on my classic.

 

As above, I bet youve recently been doing a bit of dusting around the dash and caught the rocker switch

 

My old golf used to leave parking lights if I left an indicator on and turned the engine off. Not tested this on my Subaru though. But as said above its more likely just your parking light switch, if you have one, on top of the steering wheel.

 

ahh spot on lads never new wot that switch was for i cleaned her out the other day cheers again

Ha ha, I've done this before. I knew the solution as soon as I saw the thread title.

 

Sigh, does NO-ONE use the search?

 

wot a pointless comment yes i have used the search twice today for other stuff thought this was a forum for asking questions if ppl are gunna moan dont come on just easier to ask and i got an answer so no need for the search and know need for your comment!!!!

 

In English please?

And I LOVE your idea: maybe ALL of us who spend HOURS on here answering questions, sometimes the same ones over and over, maybe we should ALL withdraw and answer no more?

Or did you think ALL my 21,000 posts were pointless?

 

well you didnt need to comment did you then u dick i got my answer from someone else anyway!!

So why bother with the comment in the first place if you saw wot the thread was was about why did u even click on it your not the only person on here!!

if your that bothered about re posts then don't comment on them there are plenty of others that will!!! as an experienced forum user on here thought you would of know better says allot about you!!

 

Just out of curiosity......does the bug wagon have a "bright switch" like my bug saloon, now there was a real selling point LOL

My classic does!

It was totally the reason I bought it!

 

Mine was the reason I rebuilt, instead of breaking: couldn't lose THAT little guy!

 

Hi there im new here just asking I have a subaru impreza gx sport non turbo my lights are like doing the same but only when I turn my head lights on drivers side is on passenger side light is very dim all so when I turn them on my main beam lights come on as well but there very dim as well on my dash bord the main beam light stays on and now when I take the key out the lights stay on need help as I do a lot of night driving

 

Well lads if we all searched all the time what else would we have to argue about?

 

And this is the reason best asking in a new post as searching bumps up years old threads lol
