John007 if I didn't skip any of the previous posts yours is the first report of non working LED's from the US.
So much for the US vs non-US s/w diffrerences in this case.

[/quote]Unless I'm doing something wrong, The Orange LED's should just turn on with the lights right? I have my lights on auto and they didn't work I also tried using my turn singnels (didn't know if the led's blink when you use your turn sig. but I thought it did) Now what do I do? I hated being with out my car for 3 days last week
. Well as of right now there is no fix right????

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)?

My touring feels naked without the LED's :thumbsdown:
And I'm almost sure the ride is not so smooth at night ...
We must convince BMW that it seriously affects the driving dynamics, so that a priority fixm is issued to dealers

I noticed a new option in the I Drive vehicle setup menu after my upgrade. Under the 'Lights' heading there is an option for 'Daylight Running Lights'. I have tried selecting this to see what it does but it does not seem to do anything - as a minimum I expected to see my headlights on all the time. Maybe this additional function is connected in some way to the missing amber LEDs?
