On getting back into the car after the Robert Plant gig in Edinburgh last Thursday, noticed that both headlamp bulbs were dead (actually, I think other road users noticed first!). Never experienced this before. Anyway, had to drive home with just sidelights and fogs on, which is not ideal!
Finally got to a dealer this am to get it checked out - couldn't find anything wrong with the electrics, they just replaced the bulbs and said it was one of those things. Both bulbs were OK when I checked them last weekend, and didn't notice any problem earlier in the evening. (I know, I hear you saying, "how can you tell the difference, the headlamps are so dim anyway?)
Is there any logical explanation for both bulbs going at the same time, or is it just bad luck?
Full marks to Dundee Audi, btw - looked at it straight away without booking it in, and didn't charge me for the labour, just the 2 new bulbs. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ok.gif
