Like tex_phil. Half of a ring is out. It goes in and out. :thumbsdown: Noticed it was out on the highway by the reflection. Got to our destination, it was on. Now this morning, its out again. Had these about a month or so. Now what?

Shit , opening the headlight again it pain in the ass man ,,

one of the rings on my car flickers a bit on the start up , I hope it doesn't go bad beyond that ..

Good luck dude , if it's the big ring , then hopefully it's the power box , so nothing major ..

I notice flickering on start up too a few weeks ago. Maybe that's a symptom of it on it's way out. GL with your set. And its the smaller ring.

There is nothing wrong with the rings or the LED inside them. They don't fail.
The only issue we've seen is from a few folks pulling too hard on their installed ring's wires and that will cause a problem.

I have ordered many products from Umnitza and have never had an issue with their quality. I would order from them a thousand times again. However, like ANY other product on the market, no product is manufactured with a 100% success rate. I think it's wrong to assume that his lights are faulty because he pulled on the wires too hard and put the blame on him. Maybe you didn't directly say this, but it sure seems to be implied.

I hope it all gets worked out. Orion V2s are amazing and I'm sure it's just one of those very rare instances. Good luck to both DK and Umnitza with getting this situation resolved.

Swap the connectors around to the small white box, it fixed it for me. I don't know if its actually fixed or if it will come again. But for now its fine

I was gentle with my install. Anything electronic I'm super careful. I banged on the headlight and it came on.
