Default Front Side Marker Lights - how it works

Hello to all,

Could somebody help with an explanation, how front side marker lights work? The orange ones work well, I hope. When the lights are on, they light solid, for turning they are blinking. But I have never seen the white ones light - bulbs are ok, new front headlights wiring harness has been installed.

Thank you for your time,
Pavel

The yellow marker lights will blink, when the turn signals are activated. When the lamps are off, the side markers will blink in unison with the front parking lights. When the lamps are lit, the side markers will blink alternately, from the front parking lamps.

The white lower section is a cornering lamp, it's designed to come on when the lights are on and the turn signal is activated. It's there to illuminate the side of the road, in the direction your turning.

well the switch that activates those lights is in the turn signal switch in the steering column.
