Mycarr angel eye problem

Gooby · 03-20-2009, 10:57 AM

So my car is at the body shop right now, Getting some work done due to a hit and run. My headlight was replaced so since they had the front bumper off i had them install the Mycarr kit. I get a phone call saying that both sides work but on one side they light up yellow and one side white? They both work and both are bright but why is the one side yellow? I told them to just leave it stock. It lights up yellow on the side of the new headlight. What could be the problem?

It's possible that the LEDs on that one side are defective if they are yellow. Look at the two LEDs inside the black unit and see if they are yellow or brown colored. If so, you just need a replacement unit for that one side.

one side is defective and one side is working fine, just return the defective side and you should be fine.

is there any way to tell by looking at just the bulbs? I told the body shop to take them out, so will i be able to tell which unit is bad by just looking at it?

Like Nick said above. Look at the two LEDs. If they're brownish, they're defective. Mine went bad after just several weeks of use. Nick hooked me up with replacements ;-)
