How do the prongs look that connect to the housings? Are they corroded? Try cleaning those off. Is the ground still connected?

USDM didn't come with stock squares in OEM. You must be talking about aftermarket right?

you may not like this answer but the exact same thing happened to me two days ago.. They were working fine but then all of a sudden both of them stopped working.. But i could still hear the click on and off

I was all depressed and drove to wendys and then all of a suddent they started working.. Give it some time maybe it will work again like mine did :what:

i just did some trial and error and found out that when you have a bad ground you get the same symptoms. (the clicking but no light output).. i took the ground on and off.

as for the aiming i still have no clue
can you point to it for me becuase i am a fool =)

look at it from the front and u should be able to see the spot for the screwdriver,but in your pic its the big white round thing in the 1st pic.im pretty sure that adjusts it .i did it on mine and it moved it some what but just try it out .let me know if u need anymore help and ill have to go and check out the ground again ?? good luck!
