While I don't believe it is illegal in Maryland, it is against
state policy.  Honestly, if you are going to turn on any lights,
turn on the headlights as well.  The parking lights may be just
fine to get your rearend marked, but they are not very useful
in a forward direction.  In Maryland, you are required to use
your headlights in periods of darkness or whenever the visibility
drops below some amount (I'm not sure exactly).  What I use my
parking lights for is to see my dashboard (Damned black back-lit
instrument panel, is readable in the subdued light only with the
marker lights on).

And if you drive, use the LOW-BEAMS.  EVEN in the day time.  There
is nothing more annoying than some fool behind you in the fog with
his damned high beams on.
