" Eye Brow " Lights and Other ???'s

popps9 · 09-22-2023, 10:50 AM

As I am spending more time now on my 128 I just realized my car has eye brow lights but they do not light up. Any suggestions as to where to start looking.
Also when I put the headlights in auto mode and put on the fog lamps as well the headlamps flash. Again any suggestions. If I put the lights on manually each time there is never a problem.
My comfort access does not work at all, no auto door lock/unlock, no holding down the remote and windows open and top going down etc.
So are fuses the first place to look at all these items ?
For hat its worth I just had a new battery installed at the BMW dealer a few months ago so possibly a programming issue ?

Appreciate any help and suggestions

I was told the 'eyebrow' lights are only functional on 135i (with the xenons?) and that there are no electrical wiring connections on 128i with halogens. Not sure on 128i with xenons?

You might try to replace the fob batteries, but if it is not displaying a battery warning on the instrument panel, the battery may be OK
