Hey all - I tried searching for an answer on the forums various webpages, but no go - I'm looking to have a way to turn my parking lights on in my 2013 WRX, without the key in the ignition - mainly so I can have them on visually while I walk around car meets and still lock my door without the key in the ignition. There is no 'parking switch' on the steering column like older models.

Anyone know how I can do this, even if it involves doing some wiring/rewiring?

Pic of my WRX below:

You should be able to turn-on the parking lamps via the column stalk-switch without the key in the ignition.

To turn on your 2013 WRX parking lights without the key, you can either install a relay to bypass the ignition switch or use an aftermarket parking light module. Consult a professional if needed and ensure it complies with local laws.
