Default Lights only work on auto but not on manual switch
Hi this morning I got in car and had a alert from the car with the warning symbol below… I checked lights and didn’t notice any out and nothing in Idrive … on auto they all work but when I switch to “ parking lamps/daytime running” switch they don’t work. ? Any ideas what is going on. X

That's for your park lights a bulb is out. From what I can tell it's your passenger side but it might just be the pic

The dash icon is telling you your parking lamps are on; you have the switch in the Parking Lamp position.
