do you touch the actual glass part of the bulb when puttin them in?

coz if you do it could be a problem.

if not. then who knows.

Make sure that the wire isn't shorting out on any belts in that area, i had that problem because i did not secure the wires on aftermarket lights i put in my EG!

im pretry sure its somethig abt the wires.but how do i check it etc

Check the rubber seal behind the bulb, if water gets in there it will blow the bulb.

Also check the earthing. You could try adding your own earth cable to the existing one, and attach it close by on a chassis bolt somewhere.

Mine was pretty obvious, as the wire had rubbed down right thriugh the isulation.

I would just make a good visual inspection for damaged or corroded wires coming from the headlight.
Failing that, an autoelec would probably have a quick look at it for you!

yeh make sure you never touch the glass of the new bulbs with you hands, if you have been. The oils in your skin can cause dammage when the bulb heats up. Dosnt sound like that though, as your burnt out bulbs would probably come out cracked
