hi peeps,
what would cause my corsa to keep blowing bulbs,
it has gone through 2 sets in 3 days and they have just gone again,
the connections seem ok as when i replace the bulb they are ok for a while then they just pop,
any ideas as im baffled and cant see why its eating bulbs and not fuses.
cheers andy

hmm.. check to make sure you've got the right size fuses in for a start.

Then make sure the connection is clean, it could be that there is a dodgy connection/wire where the positive and earth are touching.

the fuses are ok,
the holder looks ok,
where do you think the short would be, at the holder or in the wiring?
wouldnt that just cause the light not to work instead of popping the bulbs?

My old sport went through a phase of this, blew most of the bulbs in the space of a month, then it was fine. Very strange!
