Default E60 Side Marker Defective Error

Hey All,
I have done some searching of the interwebs and have found nothing, no clues, no definitive answers to my issues.

My car is a 2006 530i, from Florida with not the best maintenance and care history. I did an LM2 swap modification in February of 2018. Recently my eyebrows decided to quit working and I am trying to diagnose why. I have read the errors in my LM2 and I am getting an error code from INPA "0xA8B4 side marker light defective". This error indicates only the right side, I don't have one for the left side eyebrow, but neither side work as of about 4-5 weeks ago, and I did the LM2 swap back in February, and the eyebrows were working then up to 4-5 weeks ago. Don't really know or have any insight as to why both sides just quit working. I have all other lighting functions still working in my headlights, just not the eyebrows.

Has anyone else had this issue and fixed it? What was it? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

I had that same issue when I first got my car. I coded the light modules back to factory and both eyebrows worked. I did not code the LM just the modules under the headlight. I can't remember what they are called. I believe I used NCS, something from the BMW tools. I haven't done this in years so I don't remember for sure. I would suggest checking BMWCoding.com.
