Talking Possible to turn DRL off WHILE PARKING LIGHT IS ON?

First, I like having the DRL light on when I am driving/moving. So there's that..
Anyone figure out how to turn off the DRL when your parking light is on?

What I do not like is when the DRL is on while parked at night since it blinds people.
For example, lets say you pull into a parking lot to pick up a friend. You keep the car on to run the A/C.
Problem is the DRL is blinding/annoying to others since it uses high beams. This isn't really a problem during the day, but at night it's a bit of an annoyance.

Turn the car off, set the parking brake then start it? Works on most Lexus and Toyota cars.

correct. That’s an option. Trying to see if there’s a way to turn off DRL while parking lights are on… whether moving or at a standstill.
