Jerry - have you tried turning the light switch counter-clockwise from 'neutral'? There should be two positions there, on the first one the right parking lights should come on, on the second one the left. This is to prevent others from hitting the car when it's parked on one of those narrow streets in Europe.

Jerry - turn the light switch one notch clockwise, then pull the switch one notch out.

Cees - help us Yanks figure out this parking lamp thing: when parking on the right side of a narrow road, one leaves one's left parking light on? All night? Is this a law?
