If you pull out the light switch and turn it to the left, you can turn on the left or right parking lights. I do not think they are required to be used anywhere, but if you are parking on a very dark road, or on a curve at night, it is nice to have the option to provide more visibility to other cars.

I agree that they are mostly useless, but if you ever do need them, they might save you from being slammed into by inattentive drivers at night. I have only used mine once when I doubled parked in front of a friends house for five minutes.
