How can I make my parking lights light when my headlights are on?
I have a '65 and when I turn my headlights on, my parking lights go off, which is normal.
I believe that in 1966, when you turn the headlights on, the parking lights will remain on.
Is there a way that I can wire my parking lights so they will remain on when I turn on my headlights?

I don't know where to find it but there is a detailed set of
instructions on how to do this. Parking lights on during headlight
operations was part of the whole 1968 safety requirements that
were jammed down the throat of Detroit automakers. I am unaware
of any vehicle prior to 1968 made in the US that had parking lights
on while headlight were on. The point of this was that if you were
driving at night and a headlight went out, there was still a light
on the corner of the vehicle so people could still tell that you
were in an automobile instead of on a motorcycle. This was supposed
to reduce head on collisions.
