Angel Eyes Blinking Issue

buly34 · 09-21-2017, 09:49 PM

So my headlights are having an issue where the angel eyes blink, but only while the car is running. I have had LUX LED bulbs installed for about 2 years, I will randomly get a Bulb with an exclamation point warning light but thats all. No stored codes or issues with any other lights on the car. Check out the video below to see the issue.

You might need to code the resistor out or code the check bulb light. They also might be defective since it just started happening.

How would I go about coding them? Also the fact that it only happens while the car is running confuses me.

Mine does this as well. You have to have it coded. Usually dealership.

It just seems odd that they didn’t do this for the last two years while they were installed, that’s why I feel like coding them is not the issue. And like I said, when the car is off but the lights are still on they do not blink..

Yeah agreed. I don't mind it, I run with halos and fog lights on all the time. I have the LUX halos and LED fog lights

Police vehicle coding?

I have also sometime (only one, the right) doing this, i think this is only security about over heating/voltage. I 'm not a spec but if you can find some around you to calibrate the voltage or changing resistor on the PCB. As you told only with engine running means that Voltage is higher and this is the result. First try with a Voltmeter (if i'm right).

I had this a few months ago, & ended up replacing the LEDs. They had been installed for four years or so.
When fitting the new bulbs i actually took the time to read the installation guide this time & it said to fit the control unit's which I took to mean the ballasts outside of the headlight unit to avoid overheating & premature failure.
I couldn't find a suitable place for the ballast so I just left them inside the headlight housing. I suspect they will fail again sometime in the future.
