    I have drl's which stay on all the time unless my headlights are on. But the small outer parking light bulbs don't ever come on. Is this a feature my year/model doesn't have, or is this something malfunctioning?

    Have you checked your fuses?

    I've checked my fuses, can't find anything blown.

    When are the parking lights supposed to come on? I wasn't sure if I even had that option or not.

    The center position on your headlight switch is parking mode. Turns the parking lights and taillights on.

    Blown fuse or bad bulbs.

    Ok ok I got it now lol. That makes sense. I keep it on parking mode unless my headlights are on at night. I didn't realize that was supposed to turn on the Parking lights too...
    I'll just replace the bulbs and check the fuses again!
