    Default Globe keeps blowing

    The parking globe on my driverside keeps crapping itself every couple of months . It gets duller and duller till it stops working . When i take it out i notice that the globe is black . Anyone have any ideas ? Thanks Dave.

    I think the heat from the main headlight globe might kill em, some LED replacements might be the go?

    I just remembered that i spliced the power wire for my foggies into the parker . might have something to do with it .If its the heat from the main globe you would think it would effect both sides not just the drivers side.
