Headlight bulb went

torrevieja

My headlight H11 Bulb went last night but it seems my Bulbs in a socket so u cant get these in Garages,

Funny thing was that when i put it back on the faulty one again it wouldnt work ,

but then when i touched it off the car it flickered and came on

Is it on the way out, did the filaments connect any clues ?

Clean the connections where the plug connects to the bulb.
Any corrosion on these will cause issues.
Replace the bulbs with good branded ones and don't touch the glass when you fit them or localised heat spots can develop and burn the bulb out prematurely.

If the bulb is still working intermittently it sounds like a earth issue rather than the bulb. Take all the connectors apart and give them a blast of contact cleaner, have a look inside for bad corrosion before cleaning.

i should explain better since i took it out of socket and put it back in its working all the time,

i will get a new one but i notice that these bulbs come with a blue coating,

what bulb should i be asking for ?
