Parking lights

'65 f100 - When I pull the light switch, first click, the parking lights turn on, then another click the headlights turn on but the parking lights turn off, is that normal?

Thks

I used a relay and wired mine to stay on with the headlights.

I pulled the switch apart and took a solid copper wire and connected the tail lights and parking light together and plugged it back together. Now I have a rig that has all the lights, I did this 20 years ago, along with adding three driving lights; now night becomes day.
Oh, don't hit the bright's and the three driving lights when the other driver coming at you doesn't' dim, it might be a Highway Patrol ... they have no sense of humor
