lights keep blowing

Postby sporttourer » Tue Feb 02, 2010 7:04 pm

Bulbs keep blowing in both sides both head lights and sides, never had a problem with full beam. Talking about them blowing every one or two months.

Any reason for this?

Notice that on cold weather there is condensation in the inside bottom of the front light casing on both sides. Could this be a problm? No cracks or anything showing.

Any moisture in the headlights is a bad thing, I would dry headlights out check connectors, and try a decent set of bulbs.

Also possible overvoltage from alternator.

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!

Yeah most definitely, i use philips bluevision sidelights(h1) and dipped lights (h7) there good quality and have a hint of blue in them (hence name) but also last a lot longer than cheaper ones that you get from motor factors, think they were £20 all in...
