Parking light refers to the sidelight.

I'm confused xenon refers to a headlight.

As above parking light = sidelight.

No doubt there is a non can-bus type bulb fitted and the car thinks the bulb isn't working.

From your opening post, it's the 501 or W5W or T10 bulb at fault.

I'm trying to figure out which LED bulb actually works with our canbus system.
