Recently moved to Sydney from Melbourne

Hey all,

Having quite recently moved up to Sydney for work - I have no idea where to go to service this beauty.

And after 6 years of driving, the left angel eye has decided to give way.

Even though i rarely drive the car as I work in the city, the warning bell dings every time i start the car. This always reminds me to login to helpful 1addicts forum and post to see if i can network for drive days and ultimately find help to save my 2008 Dec 125

Also thinking of changing them both to white angels, any recommendation on anyone/anywhere that can help with this? Will also be looking for a mechanic to do a servicing soon.

Keen to hear your thoughts.

Thanks in advance

I can't help you on the servicing part but...

one of my halos was a bit shaky, but on the drivers side

what worked for me, was.. well, at first unplugging the halo bulb, and putting it back in. which takes all of about 15 seconds once you know where the damn thing is located.

realized later i could just tap the back of it, and it'd work again - hasn't turned off in a few months now.

yours might be dead dead, but worth trying?
