I just purchased some after market headlamps for my 2002 beetle turbo S. The headlams have the halo in them which would be the parking light on a stock headlamp. However I can only have my parking lights on if the car is turned in the on position and the engine is off and the emergency brake is down. Is there a way to re engage just the parking lights and disable the daytime running lights when the emergency brake is down.?

the light sensor that tells lights when to come on that is located on dash is having problems

First, I want to say thank you for the info, you saved me money and aggravation. Second it took mea little while to figure out what contact I was looking for. So I would like to provide a little more detail to make it easier for others in the future.
This is the corrective method for your brake lights not working when your headlights are on(2000 Jeep Cherokee Larado).
1) The cause of the problem is heat from the bulb.
2) Remove the light assembly as if you were going to change a bulb.
3) Turn the socket and remove it from the taillight assembly and set it aside(check to be sure your bulb is not burnt out).
4) Look at the opening, you will see 3 flat chrome colored contacts on the assembly.
5) Notice the one by it self at the top of the opening, that is the “ground”.
6) If you look closely you will notice the plastic around the ground contact has shrunk a little bit, this caused the contact to pull away from the socket, causing the problem.
7) With a small flat head screwdriver, VERY GENTLY pry up the contact so it stays slightly upward by itself.
8) Re-insert the bulb assembly back into the housing and press your brake petal with your lights on.
9) You should be in good to go!
10) Tools: Phillips head screwdriver and a small flat head screwdriver.
11) Time : 5 minutes per light

there is a possibility that they did check them if they arent then look for a short

Sounds like the headlight switch, The switch should have a built in relay that shuts them off if there is a short.The relay could be faulty.
