Well without buying a whole new set its pretty simple. Some simple knowledge of LEDs and removing the lense of the headlight enclosure will allow you to easily fix the problem or even change the color if you wish. Its far from rocket science, it might be a pain to do but its not hard.

send me a PM. Depending on how long the headlights have been on we can do it for a small charge, even change the color if you'd like.

Did you bother checking your connection? It is outside of the car after all, and if you did ahem... less than a perfect connection job... there's a chance it just got corroded.
