    You probably have a bad tailight bulb or connection at the tailights. Have someone apply your brakes and tailights while you watch, replace bad bulbs. Remove and replace the tailight bulbs anyway, just to refresh the connection at their terminals. I'm pretty sure this will solve your problem

You either have a 'single filament' bulb installed in a 'dual filament' brake lamp socket ... OR .. you have a 'dual filament' bulb short circuited internally. Check your rear brake lamp bulbs (supposed to be 'dual filament' - two contacts on their bottoms). When you step on the brake pedal, do your dash lights LIGHT UP? A 'cross circuit' exists between brake lamp circuit and parking lamps circuit.

My front parking lights on my 2005 Elantra do not come on (are they supposed to?).

They should come on with lights or parking lights. It can be anything from bulbs to light switch and wiring that is the problem.

How can I turn off the rear parking lights

Normally all parking lights are controlled by the light switch. First turn turn on the parking lights and second turn turns on the head lights.

Are you sure it is not your break lights staying on? if this is your break lights - look at break pedal for break light switch staying on or not adjusted correctly. Does your car battery gets drained from your break lights staying on?

2004 elantra - front parking light replacement

The little parking light (also known as a city light) is in a plastic connector below the low beam lamp that simply slides out of the headlight assembly.

Grasp the plastic connector and pull back away from the headlight assembly and you will be able to unplug the light from the connector for replacement.

Brake-light / side-light electrical problem

follow the light my son..stay away from the switches and relays...your solution lies in the powers/grounds at the chassis /bulb areas...the grounded power to the front bulb is causing brakes to go on..(they are ground actuated )....so you are closer than ever to solving this ..go back to each location making sure that they are clean , grounding to chassis and getting power... the gremlin will go away when ALL are power/ground happy
