Reapeter Lights

[Bazile]

I cannot recall ever having a indicator bulb blowing on any car i've owned

Is that unusual ?

[retrocop]

Not if you never indicate to other road users.Depends how long you keep your cars. Which bulbs do you recall blowing on some of your previous cars. Brake lights for instance ? It might indicate what controls moreover others.

Perhaps Bazile is a BMW driver - never been known to use their indicators.

Last sentence of first post corrected with an addition i.e." are used"

[Bazile]

And why do you assume i don't indicate to other road users ?

[vulcan42]

I don't know if it's unusual or not but on my cars it's the opposite, only the indicator bulbs ever blow.

[retrocop]

I don't assume anything. As a one time rider of vintage motorcycles I was obliged to use hand signals, turning right/left and slowing down. When I jumped on my more modern machine with indicators I still used hand signals much to the mirth of my fellow riders in the club.I did'nt get through indicator bulbs either and I would suggest that motor bikes tend to vibrate more than cars.

Bhg,
Just for the record amongst other cars we have a Beemer and we do use the indicators and mirrors and have been known to lets peeps out in front of us!

According to Tom Jones, it is not.

They go, if they keep going then there may be a further issue or youare using cheap bulbs.

Good Heavens, Baldric. I hope you don't use the inside lane of the motorway though. You're in grave danger of being drummed out of the BMW owners' Club.
