Are both the corner lights on? Are the AEs on? They are called "side lights" in BMW language too. Next time, write something others can understand to get more help.

These are referred to as side lights for an E53.
 They are line up with the rub strips on the doors but are located at the front fenders. I coded my side lights so they will blink with the turn signal.

Thanks tmv and upallnight, for the info,I am sorry for not a lot of info lastnight for i was driving(bad idea to try to type and drive I know) but I had not ever seen the 2 red arrows on either side of the info section in my driving cluster, so when I pressed the button that usually says OK it said side lights out.....I did not know what the hell a side light was, thanks upallnight for the pic, when I pulled over they were NOT on both of them were off never noticed that before, when I got home and pulled into the garage the red arrows were off, again WTF!!!! so confused....but no red arrows...lol..I do not know if the side light are on now...too scared to check...hahaha...I do not know what to check..I do not think bulbs can go out at the same time ...but I do not know..any ideas anyone.....anyone...

The info display turns on two arrows (triangles), one on each end of the display when there is a message. The lights on the sides, just in front of the doors, blink with the turn signals. The purpose of those lights is to let drivers that are beside you, and out of view of the corner lights, know that you intend to turn or change lanes.

Next time CHECK SIDE LIGHT warning comes on...as tmv mentioned in the 2nd post...check all the front and side lights that come on with the parkiing lights...especially the AEs.
Now that you've written that when you got home the warning was gone...it points at one (or both) of the AEs going bad...they have a tendency to turn off/on when they begin to fail...especially if you have the original yellowish incandescent AEs.
