When do side markers lights come on? Side markers not working

Hi all,

My side markers have not been working for some time and I've recently switched out the stock ambers for clear markers. Looks much better but would be nice for them to actually turn on!

Being as both sides don't turn on, I have no idea when they are supposed to work, can anyone advise?

I'll see what I can do to trace it back from there with my multimeter once I have an idea of when they should be working.

-TAIL fuse is good
-Rear end lights turn on
-Headlights good
-Had LF fog bulb out but that has been replaced and both fog light bulbs are LED now, and work
-Daytime running lights come on
-Side markers weren't working when they were stock, too

Open to any suggestions!

They do have another name, "drifting lights", only come on when drifting.. you're not driving hard enough...
