Default WTF!!! Angel Eye Problems. *&^$@#%

I just noticed tonight that one of the Angel Eyes was not as bright as the other one....and upon a closer look I noticed one of the &*%&$*^ Leds is out!!! How the hell is that possible I just got these damn things! Any way I can fix this or replace it?

I wish it was that easy. I did notice it was out after I washed the car...I thought maybe some water got in somewhere, but everything'* dry and the wires are all connected.

I mean on the actual light itself, the LED hookup might not be so hot....

How hard is it to get inside that ring? BonneMe may be on to something. These things are machine assembled, so you could have a bad solder joint that shook loose.

My roomate has LED fans up his butt for his computers, those things have a similar connection probably, and one of his just fell apart. I can almost 100% guarantee it'* wiring, cause LEDS have a 200,000 hr life span.. On average mind you!
