If previous bulbs ok - I think you will find the bulbs are not mounted flush in the holders - can be a bit awkward sometimes and the springs don't clip in properly either.

BTW - just had the SECOND PIAA Superwhite blow after just 4 months LOL

Thanks Dave - I thought I'd checked that when fitting them, but I will recheck. That seemed the logical cause of the problem.

I am being careful to only switch them on/off when the engine is running - not have the lights on when switching the engine on/off. No doubt I will forget at some stage. I hope that that is the cause for eary failure - at £24 each !!
Do you have any info on my plug question in "Drivetrain" ????

Wed - have removed/refitted bulbs again and that seems to be the problem. Even with great care trying to seat them properly it is amazing that they don't !!
I don't belIEEEEVE it !! - thanks again.
