Replaced the working O/S brake light bulb yesterday because it was a little dim compared to the other side. Replaced it and guess what happened today?
The N/S one blew!

Dont they call that sods law? At least you shouldnt have to change them for a while yet

Well both bulbs are the same age and they've both had the same amount of use!

Got to the bottom of it. Replaced the dim bulb with what was already in there, a twin filament (stop & tail) Popped down to Halfords (ha-ha-ha) to replace the blown bulb only to find it should only have a single filament.
Replaced my front side light bulbs too as they looked a bit black. Will let you know how long they last!
