Have you check the basics like fuses and connections. Throw any codes on the DIC? Also a voltmeter may be useful to see if an current is making it back there. Bulbs maybe?

First thing I'd check is fuse #6 in the passenger floor board. But, you may have a bad multifunction switch not turning them on.

check the fuse in pass. floorboard #6. If that's not it, its the multifunction switch ( the turn signal Headlight stick) there is two great dyi threads on here one about removing the switch and one about repairing it saved me 180.00 in parts and over 800.00 if you take to stealership. Hope this works for you

See if they come on when using the twilight sentential feature. If they work this way then likely the multifunction switch is bad.
