Head light globes blown or fuses blown?

[SteveHatz]

ok, i'm fairly certain that the globes are blown but ive been too lazy to go out into the rain and freezing cold to check the fuses and globes the last couple of days

I noticed they heavily faded about a week ago, in the sense that the beam was much weaker than usual, and a couple of days ago i had no light at all, due to this am i correct for assuming that the globe has blown, if a fuse was blown then it would not have been a gradual process and more of a "lights working, now they don't" situation

this surprises me as i changed the globes to phillips 12V 55W H7 blue vision light globes about 7 months ago

in saying that i do have an ex Telstra fleet car which means that Headlights are on 100% of driving time and are unable to be turned off unless i take my car to an auto-electrician to get the switch fixed

i could go out and check, but its been shit weather the last two days in melbourne

can anybody shed some light? (pun intended)

if their both out i would say itsthe fuse, very unlikely for bloth to blow isnt it?

unless they both have sitty earths

ahhh thats a good point....the fading strikes me as odd though...

i sure hope its a fuse coz i can think of better ways to spend my money than replacing head light globes
