With the connector unplugged from the switch, extract the purple parking light feed wire by using a small screwdriver or terminal pick to carefully depress the latching tang on it's terminal. Pull the wire (with the terminal attached) out of the connector. Bend the terminal's latching tang back out a little and snap it into the previously identified empty cavity near the brown wire.
Note, if you have a truck with factory installed cab lights, that wire might already be occupying that otherwise empty terminal on the headlight switch connector.

If done this way, will the switch still turn on the parking lights when placed in the parking light indent?
