"The law requires you to use your headlights from one-half hour after the sun sets to one-half hour before the sun rises, when visibility is less than 1,000 feet (300 m) and when you use your windshield wipers to clear rain, snow or sleet. Turn your headlights on at dawn, dusk and in fog. Even when headlights do not help you see in low-light periods, they make it easier for other drivers and pedestrians to see your vehicle. Do not use parking lights or daytime lights as a replacement. Headlights do a better job. If an oncoming driver flashes headlights at you during a period of low visibility, it means your vehicle was difficult to see, and you should turn on your headlights."
So it looks like my comment about using parking lights is actually illegal. Which also means that relying on a mod to effectively give you parking lights full time in situations where you are concerned about visability is also illegal in NY. If you are worried about people seeing you, you need to use your headlamps.
