Sorry Jim, I don't know how I missed that. And, I'm sorry Matthew, but just go out in the dark and try driving on sidelights. They certainly aren't enough to drive at more than 10mph or so, if that. Unless all the roads you drive on are streetlit. We don't have that luxury in the wilds of East Yorks, as I know is also true for other parts of the country. My point was about safety not convenience, and, for what it's worth, on a Coupe, if the flaps closed, you would lose the sidelights too, as they aren't separate like the 2+2.
I've had headlight bulbs blow the fuse, when they fail - not in normal operation. Not always, by any stretch of the imagination, but more than once. It is a known failure mode. Or any sort of short to Earth in the wiring from fuse to bulb would also do the trick. I ran two wires from the headlamp and sidelamp feeds between the switch and fuse box when I tidied the wiring on the blue 2+2. Oh, and solder to the diodes, not crimp, like someone had on my green 2+2. The leads are solid, not stranded, so crimps don't work properly and can fall off in time. Same effect as above. Sorry - the old aircraft design background made an appearance again. But if you can't over-design your own car, what can you do..? Dave.
