Hi all,

Bought this a little bit over a year ago and now the eyes don't come on at all. I checked the cabling and it's look good to me.

I have good electronics skills, so where should I look first? How can I bypass the car's computer to turn the eyes on? Maybe the connection got loose.....

Any help appreciated!

Thanks!

Um, contact Umnitza? Just a thought.

Good one, just did it :)

Of course, I'm past the 1 year warranty, so let's see if that makes any difference... If anyone had similar symptoms, please let me know!

Check your grounds and all connections. Sounds like a ground is pffft.

When mine stopped working, I upgraded the fuse from 5 to 10. Worked.

check the fuse on the harness while you're at it.

+1 on checking the fuse on the A.E. Harness...
Mine were cutting out, I pulled the fuse and it literally fell apart, the plastic body came out and the metal spades were left in the contacts...
I put an OEM fuse and it worked better and brighter than new.

I opened the hood and just tapped the fuse with my finger and they came on. So I thought the fuse was loose, so as I moved the wires around to check the fuse, the whole thing came apart. One side came out with the spade still attached, the other side only the wire came out and the spade was left in the plastic fuse holder. Since I was on the road I couldn't replace it so I took the pliers from my BMW tool kit and crimped the wires real tight and pushed them back in. Works for now.
