Yes, my wife drives to Worsley and back and I prefer her to have them constantly on going up that hill everyday.

I dropped into Subaru this arvo, they gave me 2 results. The lady rekons the globes are being put in wrong ( the 1 Subaru had put in has blown ), or the rigidity of the headlight assembly wobbles the filament too much.

I queried her on the start up thing, and she changed her opinion and said yeah it could be that.

So I told the missus to now start the car up with them off, and turn them back on.

Thanks heaps for the replies guys.

Pete.
