EP3 EP3 Blowing bulbs

[Oerlikon]

I have a mildly annoying problem in that the dipped head light bulbs in my EP3 are frequently failing. What seems like every 3-4 months. Sometimes it's the left, sometimes the right, it's quite random. They are a right pain to take out & replace.

I had this happen with my previous EP3 as well. Anyone else have this problem also? I can't see that any water or moisture is getting into the head light fixtures. What might it be?

Check the connections and what bulbs are you using?

The bulbs are from Halfords own brand.

^^Is that what you are using? I was going to pop into my local dealership & pick up a couple of Honda supplied bulbs. ^^Those appear to be an OEM replacement, made in Deutschland.
