This. With just the front and rear parking light on, little draw on the battery. No need to have the green light on to remind you you are driving with no headlights, just the parking light on since you are likely out of the car when it is parked.
On many occasions over the years I have returned to my car in the parking lot and found one side or the other lights on because I was using my turn signals as I pulled into a space and the steering wheel was still turned. No big deal.
