okay just found out about this too ... but in my defense I'm new to Subaru's and have just bought this car (bought it with trashed engine and drained battery) and only now put in the fuse and wondered why the hell the parking lights are on and it was probably why the previous owner had the fuse pulled. So, after I read about this, I went back and put the fuse back in and flipped the switch and ... nothing happened, lights were still on. Turned the key on and turned the lights on and off and the switch on and off a couple times and it started working as it should and lights went off ... must have been a stuck relay?
