Title: How can you not notice...
Post by: STEMO on 08 November 2015, 20:44:57
..when one of your dipped beam bulbs goes? I took wifey's car out before and only got ten yards before I was out of the car checking it. It's not the first time it's happened either.
When I asked her she said she hadn't noticed any difference.  :-\

My car recently suffered a blown headlight bulb. A nice yellow warning light on the instrument panel and a four inch by three inch warning on the satnav screen brought the fault to my attention. ;)

Yeah...well...this one has sat nav, auto lights, auto windscreen wipers, auto door locking........but, as far as I know, no warning light. ;D

I'd be surprised if there is nothing to indicate a bulb failure. :-\

The bulb for the failure warning message has probably already blown  ;D
