Sheds Moderator Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 The rear lights on my 1.4ss (96) have been burnt by the bulbs. No, I don't knw why either. They appear to be the correct wattage. My question to the panel is "what other cars had them? (vans?)" so i can get a set from a breaker for 10 bob.

scooby dooby doo Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 They were 8.57 each i think last time i bought one. The best theory I've heard is that if the brake light switch is adjusted incorrectly then the brake lights are always on and it all gets too hot...

murph7355 Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 I don't believe the brake light theory. My lights have also been burnt and I know my brake lights are rarely on. Could be the tail light bit though. I wonder if you could fit the bulb so that the tail light filament is further back. Not that I think that'd help much. I think it's just poor design/quality of parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
