A thread resurrection!
My MGF has never blown a bulb in 18 years and 111k miles - but the ZT seems to have an appetite for them
Last weekend I had to replace the dipped beam and side light bulb.
Curiously, the side light bulb blew straightaway as soon as I replaced it. I figured it was a duff one, so bought another 5W 12V bulb from Halfords, and replaced the dipped beam.
All seemed well.
Then on Saturday, within 2 minutes of having switched the lights on during a rain storm, both the recently dipped beam and side light bulbs had blown again.
Seems odd? I haven't had a chance to investigate further, but unless the bulbs are acting like a fuse on a shorted circuit, I cannot see why these bulbs are failing?
Any thoughts chaps? Thanks!
