As above. Blew on Tuesday and I changed it, all was fine. Just blown again this evening - and immediately blew two replacements.

Help!

TIA.

Take the bulbs out , switch the lights on and then plug them back in 1 at a time to see if it's the bulb or the loom at fault.

I found one of the loom connectors on the back of the bulb had melted on mine.
