Im trying to replace my H7 Bulbs on my Astra, i manage to put them in and connect it up but when i turn the ignition on they start smoking and then you can smell burning. Whats going wrong?
Have you touched the glass of the bulb with dirty fingers? They are not supposed to be touched as even finger grease creates a hot spot and premature bulb failure
Nope, i touched the silver bit only. They were off even so im assuming they could just be crap bulbs but ive always bought these particular bulbs and never had this problem before.

Smelt stronger than a little dirt burn off. I'll just buy some phillips ones as the ones im taking out are phillips, hopefully that'll sort it.
