Going through bulbs like pants

[AcID ZeR0]

Theres got to be something wrong with my car

I've owned it for a month its been fine till recently i.e in the period of two weeks I've gone through three brake light bulbs and now the rear number plate bulbs are out.
I thought I heard a ping as well when I was reversing after starting up, I thought nothing of it but it must have been the bulbs, any idea why?

sure its not a coincidence that all the bulbs are coming to the end of there lives at the same time

Doubt it mate as I've replaced the same one twice & the other side once.
No problems with any other of the bulbs purley the stop and tail lights.

I'll inspect it like I know what the hell I'm looking at tommorow lol, any pointers, I'm going to go over all the wiring look for breaks etc..

Sounds like you may have got some water in the wiring looms.
I go throught bumps quickly ever 6 month for stock ones but thats only the headlight ones.

So you only have change your pants 5 times every 14 days?





(Based on 3 brake lights and 2 numberplate lights)
