Headlights

[Rayman]

Hi guys anybody had any problems with their headlights. Changed them 6 weeks ago for the first time since new in sept 2020. Now they gone again. Any ideas?

Presumably you mean the bulbs. If there those cheap ons off ebay they don't last long, get some decent ones osram or Phillips.

Did you handle the bulbs by the glass ?
A small amount of moisture and/or oils off your fingers will shorten the life of halogens dramatically.

No. They come with a white sponge tube covering each bulb so you can hold without touching the bulb. Once fixed in place removing the sponge tube allows you to refit without any chance of handling. Excellent addition to the last set I fitted which didn’t have the sponge protection.
