Does anybody know how to get the LED eyebrows lights to work. I have no malfunction messages. My car is an 05 530i equipped with the HID xenon adaptive headlights.

to the forum!

More than likely is software issue w/ the iDrive ... you may have to get an update from the dealer.
At one point there's a software problem from BMW which turn it off by mistake, they fix that issue on the newer version.

First off, I am glad to be here on 5series.net

I called the dealer this morning and I gave them my Vin number to look it up in the system. They told me that there isn't a software update listed. I could be wrong but it seems like the mechanics have a different system than the service advisers.

Ill just shove BMW my car to them Sat morning to get this fixed.

That option was probably programmed off unless it always had been working and just cut off? .. i took the eyebros off in my car until I get them changed to white again

The dealer can turn it on. I had the same problem but they charged me for a software upgrade
