Electrical Issue? 2 Bulbs Keep Dying..

[Wacky Dee]

Got my r34 gtt a couple of months ago and noticed that the front right parker and one of the rear left stoplight bulbs aren't working so I replaced them.. few days later, the same bulbs are dead again.

what could cause them to die? electrical problem that's gonna be a PITA to diagnose and cost a shitload ? or could it be something simple like a fuse needing replacing ...? Any advice would be appreciated ...

Hiya D,

Got a Multimeter?

Same thing happened to my wife's BM till I changed from one brand to another; and then everything is sweet.

Another Q. Even though you've only had the wheels for a couple of months, were those bulbs behaving themselves & were there any mods that needed to tap into the electricals (such as new alarm/immob. etc)?

I'm not sure when the bulbs died the first time ..may have been like that when i got the car. But yeah I did have an alarm system installed. I'll try a different brand of bulbs like you suggested then if they blow again, off to auto electrician I go I guess.. Cheers

do the bulbs look normal? or are the filaments broken or the glass dark?

if they look normal it might be wiring or the connection itself

tried sanding the contacts?

the glass was dark so they definately blew .. replaced them with different brand, will see how it goes.
