Headlight bulb

[rainbow-walker]

My headlight bulb blew on my VRS the other day (impressed that it has a warning buzzer for that, my previous Fabia didnt, although it was a lower spec).

Anyways, replaced the bulb Sunday, started the car this morning and it blew almost immediately (but I checked it worked on Sunday when fitted). As the bulbs cost about £5 a go, Im not that keen to keep putting bulbs in. Anyone know if this is likely to just be a bad bulb, or are the electrics likely to cause this problem on the Fabia vrs ?

Daft question I guess, just have to fit another bulb and see if that blows again.

RBW.

did you touch the glass as that is known to shorten the life of the bulb
