I have a 62 plate elegance estate with a DSG box and I noticed last night that when I park up and remove the ignition key,with the headlights on, all my external lights go out but if the head light switch is on side lights only then I get the audible warning and sides stay on. Is this a standard feature or an extra? Also I don't have auto lights. Thanks.

Sorry no idea,

but i like that on cars that do that and miss it on ones that do not.

They are parking lights, it's explained in the manual

Do you think if Is it possible that in parking lights the tails not illuminate all 4 bulbs in each of the cluster and leave for example 1 or 2 bulbs for preventing battery drainage after long time parking ?

Sure, if the car has a BCM you should be able to choose the top, two side or bottom bulbs or a combination using VCP/ODIS-e.
