1. bulbs? :D
2. well if you have the leveling switch on the interior and small motors on the back of the lights then they are "positioning" as you call it :) I've been trying to find wiring diagrams for months with no luck on how to get mine working (assuming the motors still work).

1. bulbs are fine, I was looking for a fuse but cant find it.

2. position lights are small ones, used for daylight and most cars have them.

yes, the car has position lights (near the blinkers).

What do I need to check except bulbs?

I think the DRL module is right above the driverside strut tower. I have a bracket for it, but no module/wiring. Check there.

I think its there, I could be very wrong.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
