I was just wondering if the E60 has a dead bulb indicator. If so wheter it checks only main headlamp (xenon) or even turn signals, rear lights bulbs and the angel eyes????

Some cars only show the front main head light bulb. Some as VW Touareg shows even the smallest bulb (park light)....

anyone?

Yes the E60 of course has the dead bulb indicator, it will go into detail on which bulb is out on your iDrive if you check the faults message.

That must mean that I haven't had a bulb failure for 18 months. Excellent.
