The normal 2 dots on each door light that are supposed to come on when opening/closing are staying in some kind of low power mode. I've tried unlocking (brightens the lights) then relocking (returns to dim instead of off). Also started the engine and while driving it stayed on in the low power - that's not normal either. When I close & lock it like usual (comfort access) it goes right back to the low light mode. Remote's lock button doesn't help. No idrive errors or warnings.

I bet I will have a dead battery in the morning... Anyone know how to pull the battery? Hopefully they take walk-ins at the dealer tomorrow...

EDIT>> well it's morning and the battery is still good but the lights are still all on. I just noticed that my moonroof cover - the one that slides back and forth, was at the halfway position rather than being fully back like I always have it. Nobody else has access to the car... some electrical gremlin got to it in the PM hours last night...
This is the exterier door handle white LED (puddle) light you're referring to right? Hmmm... the idrive menu has this light (call courtesy light) menu which controls the length this light should stay on (default is 40 seconds). Why don't you play with that and change the settings a bit to see if anything improves. good luck.
