197 seems to be rinsing headlight bulbs...

[Mike]

Seem to be replacing them every 5-10k miles now, it's a joke!!! Had a text from the guy who has the car at the moment to say the driver side has blown!


Anyone else having this problem at all?

Not using Halfords Extreme Brilliance are you? Our CR-V seems to get through those at quite a rate.

Yes actually!

Hmmm, maybe i'll change types!

How careful are you when putting them in ? Grubby fingers on the bulb will shorten there lives

Never touch the glass at all, friend who puts them in has special gloves!!

Must be a pain in the arse on the n/s for access too.
