2008 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Narvik Black
Headlight Bulb

I bought a new set of dipped bulbs as one of them had 'blown'. I replaced them correctly, but when I switched them on, the side that had blown (nearside) did not work. I took in back out to check if I had installed it wrong, but everything was correct. Tried it again, and still the same probelm.
I then put another new bulb in, thinking that the first 'new' bulb could have been faulty, but still not working. I decided to put the first 'new' bulb back in and planned to take it for a diagnostic check, but when I switched it on, it worked!
Setting out for work last night, the bulb failed yet again. I checked the obvious, such as loose connection, but can't see anything.
Can anyone suggest what this could be?

Thanks
Steve.

Thanks. It turned out the the 'LR' suitable bulbs were NOT suitable!
Problem is now solved.

The bulbs were purchased from PowerBulbs, but I'm not sure what ones I bought, owing to me buying them at least 6 months ago as 'spares'. The strange thing is, the offside bulb worked but not the nearside. The guy in the garage (independent LR repairs) tested the bulb, and, although it looked okay, didn't work. I now have the original bulb (from when I purchased the vehicle) in the nearside headlamp and the 'powerbulb' in the offside. If I can find what type it is, I'll get back to you.
