    Need some help! So I have blown a DRL twice in one day. Something is making my blinker light pop I'm assuming. I'm not going to keep putting new bulbs in her until I know why. Anyone have any ideas, or have had this before?

    x2 Fuses checked? The fuse in the cabin was the culprit when my DRL was not working.

    I had the same problem with the one in the headlight. It would stop working and you would have to twist the bulb to make it work. People need to read. Why would a fuse be something you would point to for a bulb blowing? A bad alternator regulator sending too much voltage, possible, but a fuse?
