Default Umnitza Orion V4 Upgrade not working

I recently shipped my headlights to Umnitza to have them upgrade the Angel Eyes to the Orion V4's. Once I got them back, the driver side Angel Eyes were not working. I shipped back the headlights for them to fix. I just got the headlights back and the driver side Angel Eyes are still not working. Does anyone have any idea on what could be wrong?

You'd think that they would test prior to leaving their facilities, since they need to cut open to do the install and then reseal! could it have fried your harness or blown a fuse? If it was the first time, I'd think it was the part, but twice makes me wonder.

Did you call umnitza to see what they fixed. If they didn't fix anything since it tested fine like darkrider said it might be the harness or another component in the car.

Orions are not bulbs...

OP, maybe you can provide more information and I can help you out.

First of all, pre-LCI or LCI? Secondly, how did they wire up the power source going to the white box?

With these two pieces of info, I can help you troubleshoot it properly.

The car is an LCI. There are two black wires coming from the headlight unit. One black goes to the red wire from the white box. The other black wire is hooked up to the brown wire from the white box. The White wire is not hooked up to anything.

Okay that's fine. Do you have a 12v power source you can test with?
