I doubt it's related to the angel eyes. Scan for codes.

You probably disconnected something like the ABS sensor.

I can't see how replacing angel eyes will result in limp mode.

Maybe his hand hit something in the engine bay when changing them out.

I've been looking through it all day and nothing is unplugged. I'm starting to think that it's due to the voltage or something bc it seems like its draining the battery. Since I don't have a way to diagnosis it myself, I'll take it to a auto shop that can.
