Rally Lights

I recently purchases a 2010 R57 with rally lights. This weekend I tried to turn them on for the first time. Nothing? They came stock with the switch on the left side if the steering wheel dash. The light on the switch comes on but no lights. Yes the covers are off

Thanks

Check the fuse to see if it is blown, and make sure your ground wires have good contact

Hate to suggest dumb things, but did you turn on your brights. That is the only way mine will come on.

OEM rally lights only comes on when your highbeams are on.

That is correct. They don't turn on at all. I will check the fuse and ground.

OK I'll try it again cuz this string got me cornfused! (but the anser is correct)

Factory Driving Lights (rally lights if you please) will only come on when the regular headlight high beams are on. When you push the dash button for the DLs they are 'activated' <indicated by the light on the switch> but only come on when the high beams are on; and will go off when the high beams go off. You can not run the DLs alone or with low beams headlights if the factory wiring is correct.
