make sure the plug is a tight fit, poor connections can cause it.

Everything seems to be fine and all in working order think its just the car u know how these things are! Think I'm gonna sort out a HID kit in the next few days and see if it solves it

Great idea: just as they become officially illegal and an MoT fail

Uprated bulbs?

No a 4000 hid kit so not too bright uprated bulbs were still blowing tried most of what halfords had in stock over the past 2years and they have all blown!! I've prob spent the best part of £150 in bulbs so £75 for a hid kit with 2years warranty hopefully will solve the problem and will pay for themselves!!
