I'll check the wiring. The LEDs come right out from the back. Hopefully it is just wiring.

Um, these are genuine AngelEyes? Not those multi-color jobs? Was just wondering if maybe one lamp was burning all the colors at once and the other was set to only one or two colors on instead...? I know it'* a longshot guess but it'* really rare to have an LED burn out, after all.

I looked at everything. Wires are all connected. Nothing is wrong with the wiring. The LED is STILL OUT!! It doesn't make sense to me. I just bought these f'n things! If the wiring was wrong BOTH LEDs would be out, not one, right!!!!? This f'n sucks. Excuse my language but I'm really pissed.

Did you try taking a test light and see if the LED is getting power?

I returned them and exchanged them for another pair they just got in stock. I'll be installing them now and hopefully I won't have any problems.

Finally! I tell ya, these Angel Eyes have been the biggest PAIN IN THE A$$ I've had in a LONG time. Took me hours to install them the first time, then I had to un-install everything, after wiring everything up, and reinstall them again, re-splice the wires, etc. Great way to spemd my b-day

I installed the new ones and they are perfect as of now. I just hope to GOD they stay that way. I will be FURIOUS if another LED goes out. But all is good so far. I will get pics up ASAP. I'll borrow my mom'* dig. camera she has at work sometime this week hopefully. Without that, the pics won't do them justice.
