Yesterday during the day time a friend pointed out that one of my small parking lights was on. (The little one on the bumper on the driver side).
I had not used my lights yet, since it was not dark. I opened my car and my lights were off. I turned them on, then off and all lights were off.
I am not sure if that one light had been on from the night before, the last time I drove with my lights. I had no trouble starting the car, so the battery had not been impacted.

anyone have that happen? I figure I will always walk around the car and check the lights after parking. I do not think it is worth making an extra trip to the dealer yet. Just curious if others have had similar experiences?
Thanks.

 

i've got the opposite problem.
one of my rear fender lights is flaky.
if i hit the bumper it will go on!
i'm too lazy for now to take it in!

 

Smurf,
You might have left your turning signal in the left or right position. MINIs have a feature that will leave the parking lights on if you leave the turning signal on...this is for parking in the streets I guess. Could this have been the culprit??

 

thanks holly!
that's really good to know!
i guess you learn something new everyday!
