Rear OS Upper Side Light

Hi

I seem to be getting through the top off side rear side light bulb every 2 - 3 weeks for some reason, but I can not see anything obvious, fitting is not loose etc. I have also changed bulbs to the HD version, but still tge same.

Any ideas as to what can be causing this, and where best to look. I am assuming a surge / spike in power to this socket coming from somewhere?

Kind regards

Jay

Hi DM,

Have been pondering this option ever since replacing my sidelight bulbs for LED's, but was not sure if this would be wise with the current blowing of bulbs.
Would you recommend them in my scenario, for example, would you know if there are there any resistors on them to protect the LED from any potential surging?

Kind regards

Jay

The LEDs are more tolerant of power surges, than a traditional filament bulb. Same reason people replace their brake light bulbs with LEDs Thumbs Up
