My 72 BMW Bavaria was like this.  I liked it and used this feature on
occasion.  However, well meaning people frequently told me my lights were
on ("I left them on deilberately, thanks.") or would tell me my lights
were busted ("No, they are designed that way.").  Most people thought
that was a great and useful feature after explaining thow they work.

I wired my park lights to illuminate in addition to those in the turn
signal markers.  The above setup would be a cool addition if I could
figure out how to wire it.
