jamiehamy 0 Posted December 12, 2010 Hi all, I've had a search but can't really find anything about this. Since fitting an uprated headlamp loom, I've had to replace the passenger side dipped bulb 3 times. The main filament doesn't blow, only the dipped. One of them was a cheap bulb from a spare bulb kit i had, and the bulb glass was actually melted! The one just gone was an expensive Phillips number. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening, it's about one every three weeks. The relays and the fuses are in good condition, so looks like some sort of voltage/current surge maybe. Has anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions as to where to start? PS - I drive with lights on all the time in winter, so that might speed things up, but 3 in two months seems silly! Thanks, J Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted December 12, 2010 The quality if some looms is awful and in the case of some of the eBay ones i've seen, dangerous. Taking the loom off will probably solve it but first is it using the proper plugs for the lights? If not I would look at these first and the connections - something isn't right causing a high resistance and build up of heat on that side. Look at connectors first then maybe swap relays over or, for now, remove the loom and check it with a metre Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
