Short answer...no.

Side lights are normaly wired to work ignition off but not heads. SVA doesn't mention it and I've wired all mine to be ignition on only except the hazards. I know the problems re parking lights etc, but thought it better. Being open means kids can switch them on otherwise and I don't want to come back to a flat battery. Can't remember the last time I used parking lights.
