Having a wee probably with the bulbs in the tail light of my Bros. There's two bulbs, with two separate filaments, one for the rear light and one for the brake light.

So the problem is, the second bulb, the filament for the rear light keeps on blowing on me. The filament for the back brake is fine however. Really annoying, it's third time this has happened within the space of a couple of weeks. Using these;
Halfords bulbs

Anyone know what the sca is with it? Or am I just having bad luck atm? :Chin scratch:

Cheers

In my experience the most common cause of bulb failure is vibration. Is there any chance that one of the lamp-holders is loose in it's fitting? Is the entire lamp bolted on correctly and free of any movement?

Yup, seems to be a bad earth alright, should be sorted next week though.
