    Hey, Does anybody know someone who is good at wiring. I picked up these second hand Lights and one part of them isin't working. The Angel eyes on both Headlights don't work but the Other Led Parking lights work (which get powered from the same wire. My guess is its this piece of circut board which has been colored black, which makes it hard to identify what it is. Anybody know how i can get this issue or someone who could get them working again?

    Going on that "best quaratee circuit board" I'd wonder about the quality of the whole setup tbh.

    Voltage regulator stepping down from 12v?
    Or an actual current driver?
    If someone with a bit of know how and an adjustable power supply had a look I reckon they'd figure it out alright.

    Quite possible that one of the components (transistor, diode or resistor) blew.

    Your best bet is to take it to an auto-electrician who can replace it.

    I'd check with a multimeter to see is there power going into/coming out of the board first. If power is going in and nothing's coming out I'd try peeling off that black stuff to see is there anything obvious that is broken or burnt.

    Thanks for the replys. So i don't have the tools to do that so would anybody be able to recommend a good auto-electrician in the Louth/ Dublin Area?
