Hi I am not sure what time of day you are trying to get this to happen, but during the day they do not turn on when the car is unlocked, but at night they turn on when the car is unlocked. With mine, they never turned on during the day when I hit the unlock button on the key, but at night they turn on.

It could be a DRL problem. Check your hand book on how to turn them on. Also check to see which lights are supposed to come on when the car is unlocked.

That is normal. The DRLs do not turn on when you unlock the car during the day (but they turn on once you start the car).

Are you referring to surround lighting?
