So last year at service the guy said my headlight bulbs had at some point exploded, which from a quick google search is very common. I have been running Night Breakers. I had the car serviced a couple of days ago and have now just spotted both headlight bulbs are dead again. Coincidence in timing or something being done at service that could cause some sort of spike in power?

Ship has sailed on that one. In my annoyance of it failing and the constant reminder that they could cause an MOT to fail (I am that unlucky) I cut them out and binned them. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k

I too found the more expensive , brighter bulbs just blew even quicker than the standard ones.

Like BobU my HID conversions have been ok for a good number of years and successive MOT passes. I fitted the 35w variety. At the thick end of £30 for nightbreakers you will soon exceed the cost of a new conversion kit. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

Yeah, really annoying. I’m just gonna get standard bulbs for the time being. It’s summer and it needs to pass its MOT shortly. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k

It's not uncommon for the HB3 bulbs to fail in pairs. The CJB turns them on pretty hard, so life of them is short. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The replacement for the SE.
