Headlight woes!

[SiH]

Evening all! Just had a headlight bulb blow yesterday, and then this morning the other one seems to have gone kaputt too! The sidelights are still working, as is the full beam ones but the dipped beam ones are dead as a dodo. Grrrrr.... Is it usual for one to go so soon after the other or is this a sign of something worse? The thing is I'm working really crappy hours for the next three weeks, practically all night shifts so it's going to be difficult to change the bulbs myself. Does anyone know a TVR dealer or indy around Nottingham that can do it? I know it sounds lazy but I'm away from my home home for a while and have no tools etc. Thanks for the help, Simon

When the first one went a voltage spike could have blown the other one or weaknd it to some extent. Unfortunatly they are all conected to the same wire, unless you have the mod-wise headlight upgrade kit fitted (well worth while).

Quite often the bulbs are fitted at the same time, and are from the same bacth - so would have very similar lifespans.

My nearside one went just before a service - a week after the service the offside one went!

Just one of life's little gems!!
