Hi,
not contradicting anything said so far. A halogen bulb needs a 12 volt pd across it, otherwise they will blow. So any poor connection - high resistance will have this affect. Can't remember wher I got that from, but
I had a CX500 motorcycle with a Rickman fairing and two headlights. This was frequently popping bulbs. I came across the above info, replaced the in-line connector between bike and fairing - problem solved.
