My headlight bulb blew on my VRS the other day (impressed that it has a warning buzzer for that, my previous Fabia didnt, although it was a lower spec).

Anyways, replaced the bulb Sunday, started the car this morning and it blew almost immediately (but I checked it worked on Sunday when fitted). As the bulbs cost about £5 a go, Im not that keen to keep putting bulbs in. Anyone know if this is likely to just be a bad bulb, or are the electrics likely to cause this problem on the Fabia vrs ?

Daft question I guess, just have to fit another bulb and see if that blows again.

RBW.

did you touch the glass as that is known to shorten the life of the bulb

did you start the car with the lights on?

Mine did this on thursday!
