2016 Phaeton - Side Exterior Lights

I thought these exterior side lights (just behind front entry door and near driver gas fill, top of wheel height), but can't get them to light at all . . . not when turn signals on, not when emergency flashers on, not when headlight/driving lights on . . . When are these supposed to light? (Sorry - my photo of light didn't post . . . ) THX!

You may be talking about the docking lights. Try turning the docking light switch on, which located on your dash.

Might a switch located on the passenger side arm rest with all the other switches.

Docking lights work when the engine is on and the coach is in reverse. I never could get mine to work in my 14 Phaeton when just sitting still. I actually never needed them the entire time I owned the coach.

The Bus and Phaeton docking lights are different.

On my 2011 Phaeton they are the round bullet type and are on when the ignition is on and the dock light switch is on.
