Should it happen when entering and existing the car?

Light switch needs to be set on "A" for the side mirror puddle light to turn ON (when car is unlocked by remote).

Mine doesn't always come on. I think it depends on the lighting conditions? If I press the remote unlock twice the mirror lights always come on.

have you set your unlock feature? unlock once for driver's door and twice for all doors? if so, that's why you have to unlock twice before you see the mirror lights.
