    osram or phillips are a good brand

    as long as you dont touch them there shouldnt be a problem , fuses wont make them blow
  • check you dont have any other bulbs out,as this may be causing the problem.
    number plate bulbs,side light, tail light,brake light and indicators.
    depending on how the filament has broken it may be causing a short circuit.

    Are the headlamps secure? Bulbs will blow if the unit rattles around.

    Nearly all headlight units now are plastic, which is why most bulbs have some UV protection.
