They are LED's, but before you change them check the Regs.
In the UK side facing white lights are not legal

Hey,
Look at it this way. Now atleast we ALL HAVE ANOTHER DIY. If someone doesn't like them, they know that it is a simple disconnect and no error will come on the IDRIVE.
Personally, I love the EYEBROWS, but as j9sht put it, let's give everyone a room for their own constructiveness. Afterall, this board is for all of us to share our thoughts, experiences and opinions

Thanks shiny for the tip. You'll have to change your user name to "Not so Shiny"! Sorry about the cheap joke.
I like you aren't that keen on the orange lights, however, I don't want to disconnect them I want to make them light up white rather than orange, considering we have white indicators in the UK I'm surprised they're not white anyway as they look a bit of a mis-match.
Are they just simply changeable bulbs or LED's? Anyone know before I have to read through the whole forum or go outside in the cold?

Why does everbody have to be so critical and nasty in there comments :thumbsdown:
People are free to make there own choices, if you dont agree then leave a constructive comment - not just a cheap jibe. Shame on you

And this isn't only a constructive forum, i am just so intitled at my opinion as that guy that removed the eyebrows. It's crictical because you have to think for a second...like 99.9% of all owners love the e60 especially for that feature and someone thinks it looks volvoish. Flash note: The e60 , and bmw in general, doesn't look anything like volvo. That's pretty much an insult to the design. Personally...no offence taken.

We like the orange LED eyebrows that is the focus of this thread.
Its the orange reflectors inside the turn signals that we don't want. We want the clear white ones that you guys have...

Think the orange LED eyebrows are the best and most distinctive look of the E60 but everyone is entitled to their own opinions. At least we're all E60 owners here and love the cars we drive.
On the point of White LED's has any seen the Citreon C4 with the side lights on? They look like white eyebrows to me! Copy cats!!!
