I got a notification for front left light malfunction today. I noticed today that half of my left orion v2 angel eye is dimmer. Any idea what could be causing this?? Do you think I'll need to take it all out again? :S

Damn, that is one thing I am worried about with the Orions that is kind of holding me back from switching from the HID angel eyes to it. Having to reopen and reseal the headlight to fix any issues that may arise seems like a pain in the ass, curious to see what the issue and fix is.

That sucks man! Sorry to hear it.
Ever since doing mine and sealing em up I've thought about the night mare of having to open them up again.
I'm really hoping the quality and the life of the bulbs are good.

Yeah, I have a feeling since Umnitza sent me the wrong ballasts originally that it may have caused less power to the orion ring causing it to be super dim now. :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

Looks like I moved around some of the connectors into the white box. There were 4 connection points on the box, 1 for the smaller ring, and 2 for the bigger ring having the problem. I swapped positions in the garage and it seems to be back to normal. Will have to see next time I drive the car if it looks better
