Over the years they will be safer and far more environmentally sustainable than another glass sphere in a landfill killing the planet...

You could fit a part worn bulb it's history maybe unknown but if it saves another 75

Get it changed as soon as. As my mates friends dog says that the electrics will go haywire due to the extra load caused by the filament not being in series. And the thingy will soon delaminate. You've been warned!

Or go into Halfords and ask them to open the bulb and fit a new filament.

Hi Alan.

I would get rid of the Moonstone, And keep the bulb, that's the only way to go.
LOL!

Bit of forward planning when you venture out all ways turn left at junctions
then you wont have to you the broken bulb.
