Default Parking lights?

How do you turn on the Parking lights? There are the lamps on outside of both headlights. I never see them come on. Maybe the bulbs are gone, but what turns them on in the first place?
thanks!

Well Wayne. I have a 95 and the slender vertical lights next to the headlights only work when the low beams are on. To turn them on, turn on the low beams and twist the assembly (left hand). if yours is pre 95 then it may not be the same. Guess it's probably in the manual too bro.

OK. thanks. I scoured the manual and really couldnt find anything about them. I guess if your saying they normally just come on with the low beams, then they must be burned out. The manual does show how to replace the bulbs so I can try that.

thanks again

Sorry bro - I think I misunderstood your initial question - here are the parking lights.

You're welcome. The bulbs are 194's and can be bought nearly everywhere including department stores. FYI, Look at the fuse box under the dash (driver's side above the parking break).
