I confess that I used to feel as you do, Morgan, until I realized that 
I really can't see worth a darn with just parking lights. They just 
don't illuminate the path ahead well enough to drive safely, in my 
opinion (which is not surprising, since they aren't designed to do so). 
So, since I came to that realization, I just try not to drive around 
the campground after dark any more than *absolutely* necessary - but, 
when I do, I turn on the headlights for safety. It beats running over 
someone or something (even if only at 5 mph), because you couldn't see 
them. Which is more annoying: to have headlights shine into your tent, 
or to have a car (with no headlights) drive over your tent while you're 
in it?
