the inside light is only a cornering light. put your headlights on auto somewhere dark and turn the wheels or signal and they should come on. both will also come on in reverse.

Then I have a problem they do not come on at all under any circumstance

No, I don't think so. You must have the Adaptive Headlight Option on your car for the inner lights to turn on when turning the steering wheel.

If the inner lens is clear and dark (black) when the headlights are turned off, you do not have adaptive headlight with the cornering lights function.

If the inner lens is "rippled" and there is a reflector behind the inner lens, you have adaptive headlights with cornering lights.

I was under the impression they are hi-beam flash only, will have to check mine out though...

Just to be clear, the above applies to the LCI headlight only.

So if you do not have the adaptive headlights the inner lights will not turn on at all, flash highbeams etc...
