had a brakelight out - old bulb was black and looked like it had gone with a bang. fitted noew bulb, it didnt work and neither did the other side.

Checked all connections, lights on other side started flashing for a few secs.

Eventually new bulb started working, but other side still not.

Drove a mile down the road and the brand new bosch bulb blew, with a bang - Whats going on??

Anyone had this? Will it be bad connections at the cluster end, or a fault somewhere in the fusebox/dash?

cheers

check the fuse, then use a multimeter and see what voltage /current is coming through it.
