Default where'd my parking lights go?!?

So the other day my friend was driving my car around a parking lot when I noticed my parking lights were not on, but the headlights were. So I checked the bulbs they are fine, so i checked the fuses fine also. The brake lights and blinkers are working. I'm baffled. Could it be the light control switch? is their a relay hidden somewhere, or a ground wire come loose??

Its a 98 GLT S70

Is the switch on? Sometimes people have the daytime driving lights on and not the others. If the switch is on, my guess would be the switch. They do go bad and break internally.

No thread for that but it's easy.

1. Pull the wood trim that has the switches connected to them. It will pull out.
2. Unscrew the switch.
3. unplug the switch. It has tab locks on it so you will need a small driver or something to get it loose.
