Do you have any idea what condition your battery is in? If by any chance it is original, it will be on its last legs by now. Is your alternator charging properly?

| Thanks, both, for you experiences. That's helpful to know. The bulbs that seem to work well are about 3x the price of the cheaper ones, so will be interested to hear how you get on Scott. |
