Fitted a new fog light to the motorhome, having bashed the old one off by reversing into an embankment. Tested it. "Oh, it's very bright! Oh bugger! It's gone out!"
"Blow me down! The bulb appears to have no filament! Oh, wait a minute, it's there, loose in the bulb! Oh well, I'll get another one. Now let me see, 21W, 24V, that's the one! Oh bugger! The other one would be 12V wouldn't it? I am a silly chap!"

Maybe it was only 6v and hence the blow? Or are you saying you ran a 12 v one on 24 v somehow. Brian
Trucks and some motorhomes are 24 volt

Next time you need to remove a foglight, ITYF it much easier just to use a screwdriver or something.

Good tip.
Bill
Using a screwdriver is not easier. It's just less embarrassing and cheaper.

More accurate. You stand a better chance of removing the right lamp.
