glow plug operation depends on engine coolant temperature ..
now outside temp. is above15to20centigrade
so you might only see the light come on .. first thing in morning ..
i.e. assuming the engine has been off overnight :)

see pic attached for details of the glow plug operation:

The glow plug light only lights if the coolant is under 15°C, although the plugs are probably used after the engine has started. The light won't light in this instance as the plugs only operate to improve running after the start.;)
