Re: Keep blowing brake bulbs

Thanks again for the help.

I know this sounds silly but ..............is the filament actually burnt out? By that I mean you can see that it has vaporized and you are not just assuming it to be burnt out because the idiot light comes on. There are posts that mentioned problems with the sockets and problems installing the new bulb.

Did the actual brake light or rear light go on and be witnessed by someone?

These are dual filaments of different wattage and some have installed them wrongly somehow and had tail lights go on when they put the brakes on but no brake lights.

Over voltage would appear not to be the cause as other lights would suffer as well.
