I would like to know if an answer has been determined...how long can you leave your parking lights on one side (standing lamp mode)?

I'm sure some engineer here can calculated the amperage of the battery vs. the wattage of the lights left on and compare that to the snooglefloos burned during a gigahour.

Given that this goes on in Europe all the time, I'm betting it would last at least a day. Not that I'm willing to test MY battery to confirm that though. :smile:

Neither am I, but I was betting that SOMEONE had tested it, albeit inadvertently
