Parking lights

[skeeattle]

Hello,
I am having a problem with my parking lights (Corner lights). The turn signal works but the amber parking light does not come on when the headlights are turned on. Am I missing something here? I just replaced both bulbs and no change, no codes or warnings. I have an x5, 2003, 4.4. Stock headlights. Ive seen other X5's with them on.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Many members on hear been died for that option, maybe it been program ( parking light delete)that way if you're the second owner.

This is hitting the area I was looking at so I am going to reply here.

I went ahead and enabled the option called something like BLK_V_GED_ALS_SM (turn signal front dimmed as sidemarkers) [don't recall the exact name though and don't have my programming laptop with me right now], but now the turn signals are on full brightness with the parking lights (angel eyes in my case).

Programming can be done with proper OBD-II interface and software.
Is that the option you are looking for?
