Check the cable... i don't know if BMW fixed earlier cables problem. On each cable, there is a pair of wires that need to be switched. Verify with the installation schematics. It's a simple procedure to fix by swapping the pins.

many thanks to Benno (BenAnd) and Bruce (bruce_miranda). I finally got everything to work!!! I also installed LED H8 angel eyes. IMO, it's not bright enuf. HIDs will be nicer but it's good for the time being. My angels, brows, taillight rods, license plate lamps, all turn on when i unlock the car. It's so haawwwtt!!!! I love it!!!!
Thanks to all that has helped. It ended up not being too expensive. Programming was only $100. Couldve given $80 but what's another $20? hehehe.

Congrats John. 
I should've went this route instead of the extra set of headlights with the Red brows and AE. 
Still love the pre-LCI with the white brows and red brows.
Now if you figure out how to change the LEDs in the brows to white on the LCI headlights, I'll be all over this.

Don't want anyone too excited, but I believe I have found the right leds for LCI headlights to do the eyebrows and the leds. I am in the process of setting up the shipping for the initial test batch.

I've been having the right LED's.. its just one LED, that we got the right one, just can't get it to work correctly. Already burnt out an eyebrow / the board. =(
