DRL Bulbs Keeps Dying - Brovakiin - 6:th-Aug-2018

Hi all,

I have been having an issue recently where my DRL's keep dying. I initially thought it was just the original bulbs but i have since replaced them in May and again in July. They don't go at the same time and i haven't noticed any other electrical issues. Does anyone know what might be causing it?

I have put i link to the bulbs that i am using, just in case that is of any use

Thanks in advance for the help!

It might just be that they are cheap unbranded bulbs
I'd be temped to buy a known brand (osram or piaa etc)
both mine died within a week of each other, I fitted bosch ones from halfords (standard clear bulbs) which are still going strong 12 months later

You can always take a look around in this thread: https://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/Thread-Best-drl-options-j-and-gtc

But yea, possibly bad quality bulbs?

we used to have problems with the Volvo DRL bulbs
genuine ones would last years, cheap ones about 6 weeks
