rambo10 · 07-24-2023, 09:05 PM

Hi guys,

I have one of my angel eyes ring that doesn't light up.

I just got the car few days ago and can't seem to find the problem. Is it something I can fix or I really need to change the all the headlight?

see the picture attached

thanks

The led module may have failed, remove it and check the operation, swap right to left...
Or something happened to the optics for that AE ring

I agree, swap the module see what happens…

How can I get access to the module ? do I have to open the headlight unit?

You'll have to remove the bumper to remove the headlight and then swap the modules.
