I would say that seeing the other 3 are working you have a bad light or the connection is bad at the light.

pull one of the good ones and try hooking up the bad one to that connector.

if it's the connection it will light up if it's the light it wont.

I have an extra one I was just gonna experiment with.
It has been wired for RF's Halo mod but I can return it to regular/stock Halo.
Somehow the lens got cracked on it.
We could swap that with yours.
Perfectly good otherwise...
Have you tried yet to contact a Halo vendor to purchase just one?
that's what I did.

You can pm me.

Just getting around to fixing this now, been in communications with both JW and the vendor Wing Waxers a/k/a Corvette Enhancements Richard Todd. Both offered assistance however not comfortable on committing to a fix on the light. I'm praying that I dont have to get all 4 new LED's I only need 1 or fix the 1 light thats out. Not sure if its just the connector or whats happening inside the light. I'll keep posted with update.
