It seems like all the cars on which the LED's stopped working are in Europe, and all the ones that still work are in the US. Well......except for sicce who is in the UK and still has the LED's working after an upgrade to 16.2.
When the E60 first came out I was surprised that the European models (like the US ones) also had amber front parking lights (eyebrows) and side marker lights (5 LED's). Generally non-US models have white parking lights in the front (either a dim 5w clear bulb in the high or low beam area, or since the E39 the angel eyes). So when I followed this thread I thought that BMW probably decided to go back to having the amber parking lights and side markers on US cars only, since people with the same software version in the US still had the LED's working. However, since sicce's UK car is still fine then I don't know what is going on.
So a couple of questions:
1. Are there any US E60's with CIP 16.1 or higher that DON'T have the LED's & eyebrows working anymore?
2. Are there any non-US E60's with CIP 16.1 or higher that still DO have the LED's & eyebrows working (other than sicce)?

I just got update 17.1 and noticed that my LED amber lights are not working 
has anyone got a fix on them yet? I don't remember if they worked before the update or not. I wish I read this before I went to get the upgrade last week.

So much for the US vs non-US s/w diffrerences in this case.
