third brake light bulb fault
Problem with my Yaris 1 litre 2005 'old type model'. The brake light bulb in the tailgate lasts about 3-4 months before going black. I know what is happening, the tungsten filament vaporises and the deposit settles on the inside of the glass. I have tried different bulb manufacturers to no avail, in this condition the light is barely visible. no other bulbs are affected. Has anyone else encountered this problem and does anyone know how to prevent it? I do not keep the footbrake on at traffic lights but somehow the bulb seems to be getting too hot. All ideas and suggestions most welcome.
Regards Geoff Peace. |
