Rear right side light keeps blowing

[FranA3]

Hey all I'm very confused my car keeps blowing rear right side light bulbs it's done 3 already since Friday ,it's really doing my head in now anyone got any ideas what it could be , the bulbs keep going black when they blow is that a sign of anything Help I'm going out of my mind here

Have you tried swapping the bulbs (from left to right) and put the replacement in the left? Could be worth a try to see if it's the quality of the bulbs?

 

[FranA3]

hmm will try that mate , I'm hoping its the bulbs

 

[MattyW19]

Yeah hopefully! It seems pretty strange anyways!

 

[FranA3]

i hoping its because of the bulbs I'm using , they are from work so maybe they are cheapo ones

 

[FranA3]

Anyone else got any ideas

put a multimeter on the bulb and see how much power its putting out there?

 

[FranA3]

what do you think too much power blowing the bulbs , i put a meter on the battery a while ago and its charging at 14.2v is that too high , had a problem with the rear side lights for a while used to be both sides but now just the one I'm thinking it could be the bulbs I'm using are cheap so can't take the power its getting

Bump!

I am suffering from this too, and it is painfully annoying! Any advice?

I had something similar.

My right side brake bulb used to last around 2 months before blowing, yet the left was fine?
I replaced both for some high quality ones. Its been 6 months and both seem ok !!
