Angel eye bulb problem

Hi gents,
Last year i swapped out my normal Angel eye bulbs for LEDs on my E90 and all was fine till about 2 months later when they started working intermittently,eventually they just went off and never came on.the process to put them in had been a mission so i was reluctant to open it again,Some time later i managed to open the driver's side to check if the original bulbs would work and sure it was working so that ruled out any fuses and i just closed everything back with the faulty LEDs in.
Today i finally decided to change them so i bought another pair of LEDs,upon plugging them in,the driver's side is not coming on :cry:.Both LEDs are working on the other side and all the wires seem intact.I even tried plugging in the original bulb and that too is not coming on so i just put the LEDs in and closed everything.One side is working and the other not.
Has anyone ever had this problem or if anyone has any knowledge of this that could help me will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

If it does switch on then there is power.
I would swop the angel eyes you just bought for new ones.

Buy a good brand. I am on my 3rd set now. The LEDs on the cheaper brands blow very quick.

Use a voltmeter to check that there is power at the bilb socket. If there is power, try a new LED or bulb. If there is no power, check the fuses again. If they are OK, you need the services of an auto electrician.

Hi Karsh,
The LEDs are working fine because when i plug them on the left side they both work,i tested the right side's cables for voltage and there is nothing coming through..i also did a bit or research and it seems the FRM is not supplying power anymore and needs to be reset..Now i need someone who know coding to try that for me.

If it was a fuse wouldn't both of them not come on,is there a fuse for each side?
