Box stock T. Member 1,384 Member For: 9y 18d Posted 29/06/18 07:10 AM Share Posted 29/06/18 07:10 AM The other night I noticed smoke coming from the back of my passenger's side headlight. (The black socket which plugs on to the back of the low beam globe.) Driver's side headlight looks very dull as well compared the smoking passengers side. Seems like a voltage spike of some sort, but I would have thought the fuse would go first. Really not keen on destroying the lighting system on the car. Any ideas would help before I have to take it to an auto spark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will pull it apart tomorrow after work and have better look. It was pretty late the other night so I just shut bonnet and went inside. Cheers Keith.
