No not parallel.

Only the low current 12v switch should be connected to parking lights.

Main Power: from battery

12v switch: from your parking lights. This is what tells the black box to draw current from the battery to turn on your hid headlights. Think of this as a toggle switch, your thumb to turn on the switch is the small 12v current from your parking lights. Boom, Power from your batter is allowed to power your hid bulbs now.

Oh, always have a fuse near the battery when connecting anything from the battery. If, the wire ever shorted, it will blow the fuse instead of catching your car on fire. Trust me on this, learn the hard way when I was young back in my big amp and subwoofer days.
