I removed the blind landing vehicle and it makes no difference. The tower will not 'rodger' your request until you are within 2km and the lights do not come on until you are within 1km.
2nd Update
I have been making a fairly shallow approach so I tried a higher approach (500m at the 4th waypoint) to see if line-of-sight was the problem but the tower still did not acknowledge my request until 2km and the lights turned on at 1.2km (plane to threshold) which probably means the ground distance remained at 1km.
set the properties of the lights to same color of the base...
