Parking lights don't work

Not sure if I am using the right term. The lights that turn on when you switch the headlight stalk to the first notch.

I went on a track day, then at night, noticed the parking lights don't turn on at all (rear brakes, turn signals in the fronts that light up dim).

If I hit the brakes, use the turn signal, those lights work just fine, but the dimmer setting is not working.

A couple people suggested it is likely a fuse problem, any idea which fuse I need to check?

Thanks guys, much appreciated

Err, doesn't that defeat the purpose of PARKING lights? I usually have the parking brake ON when I'm parked.

And when in a poorly lit street would expect to be able to turn the parking lights on to provide some visibility.

It is a bit weird, I also wished the C-band light would be on with the DRLs, would look really nice. But they only turn on when e-brake is up or something?
