Soo uuuh, what is the problem exactly?
They seem to work just fine on my end.

Make sure it is night, they are barely visible during daylight (just like IRL).
Turn the mode switch to ON and move the brightness knob up (clockwise).

Use of formation lights in daylight is prohibited by checklist btw.

formation light works for my plane. but my wingman does not turn on external lights at night time. they go completely dark. is this a bug?

AI wingmen or player? If latter, are their own lights visible for them locally? And I guess yours arent visible for them then?

Or do you mean pilot to wso, like visible to pilot but not to wso?

Ai wingman. For Ed modules, ai wingman tend to replicate my ext lights state. Not in F4 though. 

I can see my lights in f2 view. No wingman light in f2.
