Is it possible to have the side/parking lights on, with no keys in the ignition and the driver out of the car?
If i leave the lights on, and turn the ignition off, then the lights stay on. BUT as soon as i open the drivers door the lights turn off. I assume this is to prevent battery drain, but in some cases it is useful for safety reasons to have the side lights left on when the car is parked. So far i haven't found a way to do this.
Is it possible?

It is on my car, just take the lights off auto and onto sidelights. Simples!

i should have mentioned its a 2006 model, 55 plate. Lights are on left stalk, with only side and main light options.

Yes, just turn them fully off and back on after you open the door

The sidelights will then stay on!
