Hi,
I have little experience with cars but today decided to have a go at changing a side light bulb...
When I removed the failed bulb it actually looked OK so I put it in the other side and it didn't work but when I put the original in that didn't work either, confused...
I took my multi meter and attached both prongs into the bulb holder and shortly after saw smoke coming from the light assembly, naturally I stopped right away, any idea what may have caused this?
In the meantime I need to get 2 new bulbs just in case
Thanks...
