    Default headlight connector fault ?

    fitted angel eyes and very happy with them .now a week later all lights on drivers side
    not working .i removed light and wiggled connector and they work intermitemtly
    i refitted origional light to check and it worked fine. now unsure what to do.
    i can try a new connector if available from dealer or send light back and stand postage
    and hope it is the light
    advice welcome.

    At a guess Its the connector and not available from dealer. Mine did the same after a bit. Get a new connector from scrappy and use a connecting block

    Mine does the same. The connector block inside th eheadlight unit is not secured properly and when you plug the connector on it pushes the connector block inside the headlight.

    I got around it temporarily by supporting the back of the connector from inside the headlight by removing one of the bulb covers whilst connecting the plug.
