    Hi razor1967,
    Are you sure that the correct bulbs are fitted to the car..??
    They 407 use a 5w capsul type bulb... e.g. http://www.carbulbsdirect.com/product_detail.asp?prod=164
    I have never heard of this problem before...:confused:

    ^ I presumed the OP was talking about low-beam, rather than sidelights?
