My bro just called me as his dipped beam had packed up on his '99 Mondeo V6. After checking through relays, and tchecking for power and a bit of head scratching it was found both the dipped beam bulbs had blown. Surely that can't be right can it? Is it a freak thing or could there be something underlying

i dont know but both my brake lights popped at the same time the other day and it was just the bulbs

i had some PIAA super white bulbs in my evo6, swapped them to my escos, and literally within a week of each other both had blow,

He's probably been driving for a while on one light and didn't realise

Dave Henshall, daft question perhaps, but did you touch the glass at all?

Quite a common fault on the mondeo.

Did the same on mine, seems as one goes, the other goes straight away then the fuse blows.

So check the fuse under the bonnet (under the bonnet on the diesel) and then replace the bulbs.

Dave Henshall

no, took great care not to, i know that th grease from your fingers can fook them up - know that for years from my sparking days with sodium lamps etc,, but fair point

I did think you probably did know mate, but it was worth asking
