Parking light & Side light??

Stupid question but whats the difference between the parking light (switch on top of steering column) & sidelight (turn headlight stalk one turn only) ??

And when to use which???

Also while we'r on the subject of lights: my spec c came with xenons from previous which Im sure are aftermarket. How do I tell what power they are i.e. 8000 etc??

Cheers

One on the steering column works without the keys in the ignition.
The one on the stalk is the one to use.

Column switch for parking in a non-30 mph zone, or facing on-coming traffic, stalk for use when the engine is running.

8000 K is a colour specification nothing to do with power, if it's white it's 4300 K ! If it's blue it's 6000 K and if it's a stupid purple then they are just sh1te !
