  • hi again people

    just got home from work and noticed my main beam and side light isnt working on the passenger side of car both bulbs replaced cpl of months ago with osram nightbreakers ....seems strange to lose both at the same time .....wondered if anyone has had the same problem or knows the cause .....thanks in advance ....DSPORT PLUS 1.6 HDI

    Easy stuff first - Can we assume you didn't handle either light when installing ?

    I've used the Nightbreaker Plus and Unlimited for several years now and they do give great light for a year before they blow (packaging does show the shorter life expectancy) so I tend to keep a spare set of the main beam lights.

    Have you reinstalled the OEM lights to check there is no wiring/electrical problems ? If so, could you see that both lights were blown ?

          It's difficult to say isn't it ? Typically mine last a year and then almost to the anniversary they pop and need replacing, last year I tried the Unlimited version for the first time and one blew within a month or so, I wasn't happy but tried again and this set are currently 7m old so hopefully will get to the year anniversary as well.

          It could be electrical but it's probably going to cost you to find out - have you checked the wiring to the back of the lights to see if it's damaged or pinched etc ?
