Um•nitza Angel Eye Repair
This will help someone repair their Angel Eyes and avoid spending another $300 for a new set of Um•nitza Angel Eyes ( or other brands ) due to wiring issues. You cannot buy the Night Controller or the small male plugs on the Angel Eyes separately from Um•nitza. This DIY will explain how to do the repair for $20!
I recently had problems with one of my “Night Controllers” and the small wiring connectors on the Angel Eye that plugs into the night controller. The 24 gauge wire gets brittle from the hot engine bay and ends up breaking at the connection point on the night controller and at the plugs on the Angel Eyes.
On the night controller the red wire broke off the circuit board rendering both Angel Eyes inoperable. You can split the night controller case apart and reattach the wires to the circuit board if you can do soldering fairly well.
The small male plugs on the Angel Eyes that plug into the Night Controller break easily when the wire is brittle. This is especially susceptible when the wire is at a 90 degree bend right out of the controller. I had one Angel Eye flickering and one completely out on the drivers side. One wire was completely disconnected and the other was barely hanging on causing flickering. This is an easy fix if you know what male connector to buy, it’s a “JST-PH 2.0” available on Amazon for $8. The wire is 22AWG vs the smaller 24AWG that come connected to the Angel Eyes and they are soft silicone. These worked great for the repair but the Black and Red wires are reversed in the plug. Label them accordingly or swap the wires in the plug.
Here is the old plug vs the new plug, the red goes on the right side. You need to pry up the small plastic tab and remove the wire and swap the red and black. It’s not that difficult but they are so small you need a second pair of hands to assist and pull on the wire while you pry up slightly on the tab to release the wire.
Swapped: The ones above the battery are in the correct position.
All done!
