It's amazing the number of new cars on the road whose indicators don't work, you'd think they'd have them fixed under warranty.

main beam too, amount of cars with one or more lights out, saw 09 plate Focus with one out, in 5 years i've only had 1 bulb blow

[trem]

well if they dont put them on then the bulbs dont blow and they wont have to be replaced.  wonder how many new car's indicator stalks have never been touched.  drives me up the wall, the same with middle lane or outside lane hoggers.

i've noticed a few brand new focus's with a bulb out.......must be cheapos

[millwall]

my brand new works transit has 3 bulbs out already  and its only 4 weeks old

My uncle used to work for a large company that made light bulbs and he point-blank refused to re-design them for shorter life when asked to do so by a car manufacturer.  It was a long time ago but I guess manufacturers don't have to ask these days.

Bring on LEDs.

P.S.  I have a 2001 Focus here and it is rather partial to blowing headlamp bulbs.  Both had to be replaced in the last month.  Probably twelve months since the previous outage.  Not good.

My astra G used headlight bulbs like a gooden, that is to be honest half the reason I wanted Xenons in the H van.

A pet hate, cars not havin indicators.
Makes me swear or hand signals automatically

I've got used to the faulty indicators. It's the sticking fog light switches that get me.

Hereabouts, in the un-streetlit 'wilds'; it`s people who selfishly don`t bother to dip for oncoming cars.

No, no no ...... those aren't faulty or unused indicators. they are the latest in telepathic indicators 

The only problem is that many, if not all, cars over a year old are not fitted with telepathic indicator receivers ... that's all

Lets go back to these, as only two bulbs are involved:



Ahhhhhhhh, those were the days!!

[waspy]

Don't you know that all new cars have indicators as optional extras. It's a shame the drivers aren't optional
