Disable daytime running lights when emergency brake is off

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.?

Try pulling out on the headlight turn knob once the headlights are turned on.

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

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.

Check engine light came on 2002 vw turbo diesel beetle?

well first off you need to have the codes checked and go from there there are many reasons that can cause the engine light to come on. when you find what codes are stored in it you can go from there. as for the turn signals most of th time i replace the emergency flasher switch. but it wouldnt hurt to check the fuses first.

2002 Dodge Caravan headlamps: one works on dim the other works on high beam but not together. Also only one daytime running lamp.

Your van has dual diligent headlamp bulbs, that means each headlight has one bulb that serves as high beam and low beam. What has most likely happened is on one side the low beam filament has burnt out, and on the other side the high beam filiment has burnt out. The daytime running lights are just the high beam filament running on reduced power, so if the high beam doesn't work on one side, that same side will have no daytime running light. Replace both headlamp bulbs with matching, good quality bulbs.

Headlights wont come on. Running and tail lights fine. Wont come on even if manually put them on. Emerg brake not on, fuse seems fine...

Is neither the high beam nor low beam working? Neither the left side nor the right side for each? Knowing this could help isolate the problem. It could be anything from a simple case of blown headlamp bulbs to a burned-up headlamp switch to a defective Daytime Running Lamp Module. I will say, however that I have seen quite a few problems with the headlamp bulb sockets on several of the GMs.

VW Beetle 2002 turn signal lights doesn't come on at all and the emergency flasher lights only come on and flash if you hold the emergency flasher button down.

Replace Emergency Flasher Switch. This is an electronic switch and failures are common. Dealer part for best quality. Aftermarket parts work but have patchy quality.

What relay's ?
The instrument cluster controls the headlamp systems that include daytime running lamps (DRL). The system allows the headlamps to operate at a reduced intensity when all of the following conditions apply:
• The engine is running.
• The transaxle is not in the PARK position.
• The normal headlamps are not on.
The instrument cluster turns the DRL system on by grounding CKT 592, thereby energizing the DRL relay. This action allows a reduced voltage of 6 volts to flow across the headlamps. If the vehicle has the optional fog lamps, the fog lamp relay will also be energized. The park lamps will turn on and the fog lamps will operate normally. When the headlamp switch is turned to the ON position, the instrument cluster allows normal headlamp operation.
The instrument cluster also has an input from the park brake. If the park brake is in the ON position, the DRL will remain disabled until the park brake is placed in the OFF position. On vehicles with an automatic transaxle, the instrument cluster will disable the DRL until the transaxle has been taken out of the PARK position.
