Hi again all
Tsk 1979 - u got it bull's eye. The tube does blow out soon after or during the FLASHING process but as anupamathur mentioned, how or why?
from what i understand is that the tubes blow out when excess of current is passed onto them. With the alternator giving a
and the rest of the electricals working fine, it doesn't seem to be an alternator problem. This leaves us with the relay and the battery. Since the car starts pretty good even after 3 years, (kudos to amaron for that) it is highly unlikely that it's a battery problem. That leaves us with the relay or perhaps some wire issue. Let me post a picture of HOW the relay has been set up. Maybe, just maybe that could be a source of problem and an earthing problem?
aah78 - There is just a single relay installed and although i do understand your point of view, what i don't understand is that most of the other cars too have a single relay installed. Has anyone else experienced such frequent blow outs? 2nd installing more than 1 relay, wont' that be a drainer on the battery?
PS: I did run the thought across the guy at qutab motors of putting in 4 relays, something which he laughed at
[Alternate:
Get rid off all this wiring mumbo-jumbo and get yourself the new Philips X-treme Power bulbs. They're great.
Just had a pair fitted onto my LR3 - 12V, 55W - standard wattage but much brighter than the standard OSRAM halogens.[/quote]
how about putting a picture across.
Thanks again for all the suggestions. this surely is fun and informative
