help!
 
I bought a pair of headlights off a user on this forum a couple months back and today, the controller that allows you to turn the angel eyes on, keeps on getting really hot and smoke starts to come out. I'll attach pictures, I had to unplug the controller entirley due to the fact that every time I turned the car on, it will start to smoke. Is there anyway I can get rid of the co troller completely and still have access to the angel eyes because without the controller the angel eyes don't work, or any other suggestions?

Not to sure, I asked the user whom I bought it off of, and he sent me everything I needed.

What should I do? I'm not familiar with wiring or anything so I'm not to sure on what to check and how to fix it.

If you don't know how, take it to a professional. Probably a car stereo shop would be able to diagnose it for you.

kenchan 09-11-2014 02:19 PM

yah, take it to a car stereo shop as cooltoy mentioned.

Found out the problem, the two wires were touching therefore it was smoking. Is there anyway to buy new wiring for the lights or would I have to buy a new set of angel eyes? I'm getting tired of these lights lol, I might just buy a new set.
