    Default Bulbs aaaarrrgghhh!!!

    Hi all I have yet another blown bulb. It seems that I replace one then another goes! I love everything else about my vec but I have never replaced so many ****** bulbs since owning it. Rant over.

    i had a very similar issue during the winter time, i was changing a bulb every other day it seemed.

    both rear tail, both sidelight and both number plate and 1 headlight went within 2 months.

    Can't you put LED lights instead? Most likely solving the problem.

    Think the led lights will bring bulb error up, or they flicker i believe.
