What make are they? I can talk to FK about getting a replacement. I can also get hold those crappy CT-Racing stick on angel eye rings if they are any good?

if you have the same single angel eyes as i do (check my garage) then u cant buy replacement rings!! 
but they can be replaced... but be warned its a long and fustrating process, u have to rip open the front lens and soldier in new leds urself as the standard design is rubbish!! and then glue the lens back on!

ok well you will have to literally yank/pull of the lens by watever means as they are glued on, be carefull not to scratch them if u use tools, then pull out the silver insert and their will be a screw behind the ring to remove it, take out the whole led circuit and get rid of it! soldier in new 5mm leds of your colour choice with one resistor for both of them and then put the whole thing back together!!
if you are not good with DIY, electrics, soldiering, leds, resisitors etc then i would seriously recommend not to attempt this yourself!! but if your willing to try then i would be willing to write up a long step by step procedure
