Googled the hell out of this but not found a fix, surely there's a solution or something I've missed that doesn't involved bodging an extra hidden bulb in? Help!
Thanks, Andy
Try changing the front bulbs to 21Ws, it is what should be in there as standard. It may end up speeding things up more however.
As said, I'd also look at the holders and wiring. Clean up all of the connections. Finally, check what your battery is charging at. Anything between 13-14.5V should be fine. Above that and I'd look into possibly getting another alternator (preferably secondhand). Escort altenators are made out of chocolate these days and really seem to suffer with the heat from the exhaust.
