Ok not sure what they are called but the lights over the top of the AE that look like eyebrows do not turn on. I have a 05 545i and It looks like all the bulbs there. There is even some led lights at the end of the eyebrow that won't turn on as well. How do I check or get them to turn on. I read manual and nothing. Please point me in right direction. Thanks

Hmm...It might be a bad module! take connector out check for voltage first. Also check the actual switch assembly. I have seen the rectifier bridge been blown out behind it after "Jumping" the car when it had a dead battery.
BTW- In order for them to turn ON, the switch has to be in Auto or On position!

OP - Either it is physical (which I doubt if both sides are off). You have to get the appropriate cable, use NCS Expert and recode car to the VO. <br style="color: rgb(28, 40, 55); font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; background-color: rgb(250, 251, 252); ">So now let me ask you a question ... Are you the first owner? Have you EVER seen the eyebrows come on? If not to either then the previous owner probably turned them off and you will need to turn them back on through a coding change. This is a very simple process.

You need to get them coded to light up, I had the same problem long long ago.
The dealer can also do this but for nothing less than a couple of hundred.
