Never used the parking light side of things on the cars.
Worked with a guy in a garage who use to use his all the time when parked on the side on the side of the road but he was from germany, so I guess they used it all the time?
In the day light they are OK, but driving with DRLs on during the night or evening , stupid really.

I think they are designed mainly for dark conditions when you are parked on side of the road - side lights, which is safe as it makes other users in dark conditions aware of your car from distance because don't forget when they are on the tail lights lit up as well.
