Hi all,
Noticed that a stop/tail light bulb was out recently, so bought a couple of new bulbs and replaced both of them. I noticed that in both light fittings the plastic of both the bulb housing and the lens cover has melted slightly!!
So I turned the lights on and then put my hand on the light fitting a few minutes later, it does feel excessively hot.
I have no other electrical issues on vehicle, a 1988 90 with 200tdi conversion.
Would this be down to cheap crap light fittings?
I bought a cheap set off e bay a few months ago and replaced the lot as the originals were tired. Wondering if they are poorly manufactured and they are not properly insulated somehow.
Should I replace the lamp units with some Wipac ones?
Look forward to your thoughts.
