Replacement LED Angel Eye inverters?

Hi Guys,
One of my LED angel eyes has just died. I had a flickering issue about 6 months ago which seemed to disappear.
I've not tried swapping the inverters yet to test whether it's the bulb or not.
If it is the inverter, where can I buy spares from as all I find online are CCFL items?
Cheers

It's not an inverter.

An inverter takes a dc supply and creates an ac supply.

Led's run on DC.

It's probably a constant current driver.

Cheers Buddy.

That would explain the issue. Searching for "ballast" also yields the same results.

Horizon seem to have what I need so just need to test them by swapping sides now.

Cheers
