My Ride: 2005 545i- Titanium Gray
Same problem with mine...got software update and its all good. If you are out of warranty may cost you a few hundo but again it depends on if you are buddies with your service guys or not?
I upgraded with Angelibright in the white and it looks great...I am not keen on the red or blue etc...

Yeah I'm just looking for pure white took, I don;t like that ricer blue look.
As for the brows, they should pop on when you have your headlights turned on, etiher in the parking lamp position or with the Xenons on.. Ask your dealer. You and I have the same year car/model so it shouldnt be too different.
Hope you enjoy the forums!

Phil..I ave the pure white AIBs on my ride. It looks badass.. I highly reccomend it. Do not do the blue or red because (a) it's illegal and (b) it doesn't look as classy. At night, all I have on is my AIBs and my fogs and it looks hot.

i'll check with the dealer tomorrow, i would think software updates/patches should always be supported by OEMs...

if there is a bug in the s/w i hope the dealer can take care of it free of charge because the car isn't under warranty anymore...
as far as LCI models, im not sure what that is. mines an 05' so im not sure. so with my orange lights not turning on this is not normal?
thanks for all your input!

Yeah I can't decide between amber or white. 
I'm looking for the classy look, the white would probably look better on the alpine white exterior.

It clearly sounds like you have the software with the eybrow bug. If the dealer says you have to pay for the upgrade, I say call BMW NA and let them know that the car, as it is now, does not meet USDOT standards and this issue should be treated like a recall, not a warranty repair. After all, the lights worked fine before the last software upgrade and they'll likely work perfectly after another upgrade. To me, as a matter of principle, this should be fixed for free no matter how far out of warranty your car is...
exactly, thanks man

I had the same problem with the eyebrow not coming on and the dealer updated my software and changed my light control module (LCM). The LCM is expensive, but I'm still under warranty so it was covered.
