04 530i (e60) Black Sapphire Metallic
Did anyone experience the same malfunction that the little green light next to the headlamp switch blinks when the lights are on? I read it in the owners manual that it is cuz of the malfunction in the adaptive xenon system, and i have to get it checked out by the dealer? Cud it just because of the old software for idrive cuz the eyebrows don't work on my car either. Will the update solve both of my problems? And do i have to take it to the dealer? I live in Queens New York, any gud shops that can handle it besides the ripoff dealerships? Your help is appreciated. Kevin

 

Your battery is possibly about to die out soon.

It happened to mine last year. Starts with blinking of adaptive headlight control, then sluggish ignition and then totally dead.

Get it repaired if its under warranty. Battery itself is ~ $300

 

really could it be the battery? if so that'll be awesome. Could we put any other aftermarket good battery... or is Bmw one a must?

 

No it's probably not the battery, it's more likely a failure of one of the sensors that control the position of the headlights. Try looking at what the headlights do when you start the car and put them on auto.
I bet the drivers side light isn't swiveling to the correct position.

 

i had the dealer switch out my LCM. If ur out of warranty, i dunno wut to tell you. Does ur lights look like they dip all the way down?

 

When i start the car, the lights auto adjusts themselves and they actually doesn't dip down or anything. It actually aims pretty good but i i guess the when i am turning or so it doesn't move the lights towards that direction. My car isn't under warranty i wonder how much wud an LCM run me, or wether the software just needs to be updated
