Faulty Spot lamps
Hi,
I am having problems with my spot lamps on my RB5. They keep blowing on a regular basis. I have been informed that it is the relay.
Has anyone else had problems with their spot lamps?

Mine used to blow all the time. Spent the 1st year of ownership having them replaced (at Subaru's cost) every few months.
Stopped using the PIAA bulbs and bought a pair of £10 Halfords ones. They've been on the car ever since (4+ years now) and still work fine.
I'd try some cheap bulbs first before changing the relay (although changing that for a decent Bosch one should be easy enough).
