Would anyone happen to know what could cause one of my angel eye rings to become dim?
I cant see anything obvious that is an issue, do they have two inputs of power and could one have fallen off?
any help would be appreciated.

CCFL or LED? Perhaps screwed inverter?
Who fitted them? Best to ask them as installation accessories will vary.

they have been wired in to the parkers if that helps.

Does the park light still work?
Do you have access to a multimeter? I would be tempted to check the voltage to the parker/angle eyes/inverter depending on what your using, to ensure they are getting enough voltage for starters.

I think we removed the parker bulbs so all you saw was the ring, if i can find a multimeter i will give it a go. what voltage should i get? It's just odd the 2 rings are wired together (if i undo 1 clip they both turn off) So if the voltage was wrong they would both be dim?
This is gonna be a PITA to open up the headlight for the 3rd or 4th time... if i need to replace the ring.

OK fair enough well you are right both should dim, it sounds like a faulty ring perhaps, do your have inverters that you could swap sides of?

Sounds about right, normally it is a type of box.

Thats alright I dont know too much about those kits, but I know the basics, and swapping them over to see if the problem follows in the easiest thing I can think of.
