Help needed with Angel Eye intermmittently working

[the_road_less_traveled]

I just bought the car and the driver side angel eye worked when it wanted to. I pulled the bulb today and tried to fiddle with the ballast connection and see it I could get anything. Not when I turn on the parking lights, it comes on very briefly (like 1/2 second) then turns off. The passenger side is fine, no problems at all.

Any one experienced similar problems with this angel eyes? I don't see a manufacturer on the ballast either, so I'm at a loss there.

Thanks.

Some people have experienced a problem where the connecting pins inside the OEM plug have receded into the plug.

Using a pair of needle nose pliers, they pulled the metal connecting pin back up to the surface and everything worked fine after.

Give that a shot!

If there is indeed a ballast for the angel eyes then it's an aftermarket setup. The known vendors are Alpine and previously Camaross. It would also be of unknown origin. May just need a new ballast or bulb.
