Park lights stopped coming on.

Guys, my park lights have stopped coming on when I unlock my car. Anyone know where the setting is for this?

Had a look at the "lights" menu in idrive and there appears to only be options for daytime driving running lights, welcome home light duration and not much else from memory.

You haven't bumped the headlight switch over to off instead of auto?

Nah, there's the option for park lights when you lock or unlock - remember seeing it when I had to reset all recently. Will check and let you know.

Thanks guys, will have another look tonight.

There is a "welcome lights" option on the menu and that seems to do nothing.

Will try door locks > confirmation.

Thanks Simon just tried it and it works. Strange that the confirmation option was already selected. All I did was de-selected it and selected it again, and all's well.

Computers....

Doesn't this turn on the led puddle lights on the door handles if you unlock remotely?

To the op I find that if you turn off your car after a drive and the light switch is in a position other than auto then when you next unlock the car the park lights will not come on.

Ah ha. You are right. That's exactly what happened come to think of it. You learn something everyday
