OP must have turned the headlight dial from the always on to some other one. (auto or off). The angels only come on when unlocking with the dial at the on position.

It's always on auto. They used to work. Installed the lux they worked a few times now they don't.

Well it's obviously not the bulbs since the stock bulbs don't work either. Are you getting any warning messages?

Yes, it's not working. I have to take it to the dealer next week I'm going to have them look at it. It's not really that huge of a issue I just want to make sure it's not going to ruin or did ruin my truck.

FWIW I have lux v3's and I noticed this exact same thing like the next day. Its roughly 70/30 whether they turn on with unlock or not. I frankly don't care but when it first happened I was like wtf. Let me know how it turns out for ya.

No helpful answers out of lux. Dealer said everything is fine (no warning lights) so I don't know. If this is a normal problem lux should just say so.

I had this issue, it was my battery. Get your battery tested fully, if you do not have a healthy battery, the X will stop using the angel eyes when you unlock as it uses battery which it looks to save being in a degraded state.

And it was directly after installing Lux V3s. This issue was not related to the V3s either, the problem was my battery entirely.
