hello,I am just about sick of my angel eyes.....the right side inductor (the black thingy) keeps burning out......had it changed 4 times already. Came home from overseas 2 days ago, all excited to see my baby again, and her right ccfl eye again is not working again!! Weird thing is only the right side keeps burning out while the left side still maintaining since day one! I read somewhere in this forum a couple of months ago where a sifu was explaining the latest, bestest, greatest, angel eyes in the market versus the older wan (V1 vs. V2 I think), and also where to get them. Could someone direct me to that particular thread because I couldn't find it (I looked, I swear!) Alternatively, could someone direct me here on where I could buy (and how much?) this latest version. I am interested in getting a set. I probably have the older version currently installed ....because I had it first installed almost a year ago.
 
you will forever face this problem. this is a fact. replacements are mahal eh? 100 bucks for the ballast. if you buy it in thailand(the same one you buy here), you can get the whole set for that price and replacements would be relatively cheap.

Yeah.. come down to KL over the weekend. Been a while since we pinched some a$$!
 
be careful on the connector might be the culprit lose connection cause overheated ballast / kong. Check the connector

It happened to me too (for my left angel eyes), no matter V1 or V2 both also kaput..Now im using it for almost 2 month without any problem, Here what i do;

1) I asked the mech to place the transistor no to near to the head lamp (place it near to the water tank/wiper)

Hope it works for you.

Cheers
 
Stud_Daddy,

I had the same problem and in my case the ballast is ver 1.0 (CCFL angel eye ver 2). The black thingy (don't know whether it's Ballast or transistor) died immeadiately after a car wash. So the obvious/coincidence problem is water must have somehow be in contact with it.

I leave the "angel eye mata sepet" for more than one and a half month. Finally I maged to get the black thing change in Penang. It is the same part number but ther ver sion is 1.2. It work fine thus far. Now I have added an isulation and wrapped the whole "black thingy" to make sure it it water proof (I suspect highly it has something to do with water in my case). Damage: RM90 with installation.

Done in B'worth Penang. I know you are from nothern region (Kulim area) and I also remember reading somewhere in this forum that someone is selling the said part something like RM60 in KL, if I remember correctly.

Would you happen to remember the name of the shop in B'worth? And which part of B/worth?
I think after I get if fixed this time, I'll follow E46 2.2's advise and move the ballast away from from the hot headlamp.
 
Stud _Daddy,

Happen to have the receipt here.

It's is at Bagan Luar, B'worth. Will PM you the name, address and tel number.
The call it CCFL Converter. Quoted RM100.00 but after discount at RM90.00.

True as what jsen said, saw the thread before (with a picture).Anyway you can get the invertor or transistor from any computer shop or at Low Yat Plaza..If you didnt manage to get it there just PM DannPromote, im sure he can help you get the inverter or so called transistor.


Cheers
