TEPUI · 01-15-2007, 07:08 AM

During the last year, I've had to replace the bulb on one of my brake lights at least 5 times. One would assume there's a short-circuit somewhere but i really don't know how to diagnose it precisely. Is there an accurate way to diagnose this? I'd hate to take it to a shop where they do "trial & error", normally breaking something else that ends up being more expensive.

Is it possible that I'm using low quality bulbs? I would eventually like to switch to LEDs but I'd hate to keep burning them if the problem is actually a short-circuit.

has anyone experienced this before?
