Headlamp bulbs keep dying

[MagicFR]

Hey folks,

about 5 weeks ago my left main beam bulb went......today sometime down the M6 I noticed that I only had 1 light on so checked and the right bulb has now gone!!

any ideas why they keep failing?

Cheers

Have you just had one of each go or more

in almost 3 years of ownership I have gone through 2 or 3 pairs

dont think that is excesive realy if they were lasting weeks then there might be a problem but not a year

 

[MagicFR]

I see So nothing to get worried about then?

Although it does seem a bit excessive

 

[simon34]

i wouldnt worry bulb life will be down to how much you use them
