    Rear globes keep failing.

    Hey fellow dubbers

    I have an interesting phenomenon with my TDI.
    We've had it since dec 2005 and it seems to have an appetite for rear globes. I have replaced numerous brake, and rear parking globes since purchasing the vehicle. I use the same globes for all the other cars in the family and it seems as though I might replace globes in the others maybe every 12-18 months but about every 6 months in the golf. Now the LHS brake light has gone. The hassle i'm worried about are the clips the bulb carrier clips into. They are tight to bend.

    Anybody out there noticed the same problem?

    Those clips are very tight aren't they...but they are pretty tough plastic from what i remember.

      What brand of globes are you using?
      Not all globes are made equally
      Performance Tunes from $850
      Wrecking RS OCTAVIA 2 Link

        Yeah that's what i figured - Narva (1/2 way reasonable) but what i'm really interested in is the replacement frequency using the same globes between the Golf and other makes!
